Hello Everyone! Welcome to my blog. Truth is the saviour for mankind, while lies destroy a worthy nation. No one likes to trust a liar. A lie can save us for a short time, but it may weaken our personality. Any religion discourages each of its types. Being a Muslim, either it is a business or it is a wordy matter I don't like to speak lie or don't like to support liars. Unfortunately, liars are increasing every day and it seems people don't mind it. There was a time when parents liked to punish kids whenever their kids sought support from lies. Nowadays, it hardly matters whether a kid is speaking the truth or a lie.
The Lie of Omissions or Deadly Poison
I have seen some matters where speaking the truth can be dangerous and can be the source of a big conflict. On these occasions, Islam has allowed for hiding the truth or speaking a lie if we didn't have any other option. Otherwise, lies are not allowed either in short form or in a long form. I have witnessed some cases where the truth was a source of destruction on a large scale, hence people have taken support from lies. In these cases, hiding the full truth or speaking a partial lie is not bad in my opinion.
Last Week, my cousin gave birth to a baby after a Labor Obstruction. This baby suffered from Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy Stage 2. This is directly linked to brain Injury, and there are maximum chances for a kid to develop into Cerebral Palsy. To raise a CP kid is a big challenge not only for parents but also for society. Anyway, we were in the hospital and directly linked with a Paediatric Doctor. He has reported to us all these harsh truths. As our cousin is a heart patient hence exposing all truths to her can be dangerous.
I decided to hide the complete truth and decided to speak a partial lie. I called my cousin and told her that her baby is in good health now. He will survive, but you have to be careful with her growth. Your child is very sensitive to the environment, hence you must visit a Peads Department monthly. Although I hide the truth but my partial lies are enough to save her life.
Final Thoughts
Truths don't have any alternative, but sometimes partial lies are healthy. With partial lies, we are not going to harm someone but they are the tools to save someone. These lies of omission are not as dangerous as people consider. If our truth is going to cause big trouble avoid it. Do justice to yourself and don't depend on lies. There are many conditions where truths are not significant. Sometimes partial lies can be dangerous as well. It all depends on the intensity of matter, where the need for truth or lies can be evaluated. The world is more advanced and popular due to the people who like and support the truth.
