| Deception is lying. I say normally lying is wrong except when used in in certain self defense situations to protect from harm or suspicion in matters of privacy.
For example, if there is a highly judgemental nosey person who would suspect much worse than the private truth if you said 'none of your business', you can tell them enough to shut them up.
Another example is if you are threatened with bodily harm by a greater foe, feel free to deceive the person into thinking you have more defenses than you really do. |
