RE: Re: Digest Number 68

If it were only that simple.  A lie in one context/domain can be the truth
in another.

What is lying anyway.  If you make conclusions on the facts that you know
and formulate them, are you then lying since there may be facts that you
don't know about?

I am not a believer in right/wrong, lie/truth discussions.

Example: Try telling to 90% of the world population that internet has
changed their life.  Most of them have not seen a computer, let alone have
access to it.  Has the internet changed my life "yes" so it is true for me,
it is not true for them however.

There is a lot more to say about context/domain dependencies, perceptions,
beliefs, etc.

As far as I'm concerned, there are few liars, there are a whole lot of
people however who have a different point of view and that is what makes my
life interesting.

Let's share our points of view without having to talk about truth/lie,
right/wrong.

Regards, Stefan.

P.S.: If we could only see each other's point of view, perhaps we wouldn't
need war or terrorism.  No matter how you cut it, both frighten me .  Just
had to spill this ... Xmas should be a time of peaceful thoughts, ... ;-)
