Another reason is to hide
something that will hurt the others emotionally. Although it is not a good idea
(since they are going to find out sometime later), I think that it should be
hidden so that they can be unaware of it as long as it possibly could to
prevent them from experiencing mental or heart breakdown. It may be the death
of a distant relative (I would not say close relative, because the news is
going to spread fast and it must be known soon. Not knowing the death of your
close relatives can even bring guilt, and this would hurt the person more).
Some people might argue that they should face it when it comes to them since
they are going to find it out anyways. Why not face it now and get over with
it? I do agree to a certain degree. They are going to find out in the end, but
there are some people who can never get over these things because of emptiness,
guilt, or whatever it may be. To these people, I just want them to live a happy
life for at least a little bit longer, so they would not have to live in misery
for a longer time.
I think that hiding the truth may
aggravate the situation. Some will certainly get mad for not knowing the truth
earlier, but they would have to realize that it was done for the benefit of
them. When it is done for the benefits of others, lying should not be
considered a bad deed or even a sin. How can it be bad when it is benefitting
someone? It is certainly bad when a person tries to hide the truth, like
cheating in a test for instance, to prevent from getting a detention or a
suspension. However, lying must not be looked in a bad way when it is for the
benefit of others. Lying can bring peace for at least a longer period of time
(Why not keep the peace longer when it is certain that it is going to be broken
soon?) and this would mean that everyone would be happy at least for a longer
period of time.
