What do you think about lying? Can it be justified?

EC friends and all members,

Nobody can stand firm and claim that they never lied even once in his entire life. Though it doesn't necessarily follow that you are a habitual liar, it's just so happened that YOU HAVE TO. In my work, I am guilty of every day lying that my boss is not on his seat, that he went outside, or busy with another line--lies! Because I was told to say that, same goes to our accounting. Hahaha! I think this is a normal practice in any office, but you know I still don't like to confirm this kind of work culture. I'm always getting into trouble with my colleagues for this particular issue and I heard myself yelling at them that "why don't you tell that yourself!?" or "If you have anything or nothing, why don't you tell them straight?!".

Unfortunately, they are always telling me that I should get used to it. Working here for more than two years I still don't get this idea of hiding and lying scheme.

So guys, do you feel the same guilt I carry whenever I lie regardless if it's "white lies" (darn it! lies are lies!)? do you experience this? how to overcome this guilt?

Grrr...do you mean that I'm a specialist liar now? Hahaha! Darn it, if I don't want to say something I will not say it instead of lying... there's no benefit at all. Most of all, I have to use my memory all the time to remember to whom I told this, this, and this, and that, that, and that...That's the essence of telling the truth coz it will remain true no matter what. You don't have to remember everything. Haha!

Yes I know now that nothing is wrong with me, it's just they want me to feel that way. Conformity- darn it!

Lol... I think you're like my mates somehow :D they already know when I'm available and depending on who's on the phone haha... they even developed their own 'lying techniques'. Yes, it's a very common practice and I guess such guilt vanishes with time :)

Btw nothing wrong with you at all dear Risty, in any case with us who lost that feeling :/

That's exactly my point, I want to be true to myself that's why I want to tell the callers what's true~~"You don't have a cheque, really.", or "my boss is not interested at all"...oh gosh! I'm so rude! but that's true.

Risty, i think Luci is right. If you will take it as lie, you will ruin your nervous system... Don't take it so close to your heart. Just try to be as true as you can :)

We are still an accomplice. As if I'm crushing someone's hope to get their payment and reserve their hopes for another call and another chance. Haha!

I really don't get this kind of business strategy. Something wrong with me?
