The Truth.

My thought is that by learning that the world is brutal after you've become good in something, would mean you will fight for what you've worked so hard to get to already. Instead of thinking "Hey, not worth doing," people rather think "Goddamnit, I'll do it anyways. I've wasted so much time on this already, so no need to stop now."

The second reason I want people to experience that the world is a cruel place instead of being told, is because you'll notice the effects of it. By being in a car crash, chances are you will be using a seat bealt. It won't be that efficient if you get this told instead, because "Well, it happens all the time, but not to me". And most likely it won't. But when it happens...


Well, that really depends. Let me give you an example.

Take the standard Kantonian issue: You're alone at a café, enjoying you ice coffee. Suddenly, you see a bloody man running from an alley, who starts to run down the road. Some minutes later, a person with an axe/gun/[weapon of your choice that will take the life of the guy you met earlier] runs out of the same alley, looks around, and then suddenly asks you: "Did you see where the person coming from this alley went?"

Now, usually you would have the following options:
- Lie, and say that he went some way he didn't.
- Speak the truth, and tell him that he went down the road.

You could eventually do an option C here, and tell them "I do not want to answer that question," but you'll probably guess what's going to happen if you do so.
Trying to get away from the question is essentially the same as lying (You don't want to answer the question, but you do not tell them that, as you would in option C), at least from my point of view. And I consider that, obviously depending on the question, as okay in some cases.

dosn't this whole thread beg the question, by what logic is lying immoral?

morality is subjective as far as i'm concerned.

the moral thing to do in that situation it to tell the guy with the gun that he went the opposite dirrection of where the bloodied man went.

nothing immoral about that.

please tell me by what logic telling the truth in that situation is moral.
