Last Weeks Class

The discussion last week in class about the reading of the essay "Supposed Right to Lie" had me second guessing myself on a few occasions. Like when you lie for good consequences like protecting someone from getting hurt, on one hand it could save one person and at the same time hurt another. I never looked at it that way. It just makes sense to try to help protect someone from danger if you can and you never seem to look at what could happen afterwards. The reality is that by that person not getting to the person you are protecting could put an innocent person in danger. Then if you let that person you are protecting get hurt than it feels like you have their blood on your hands. It feels very confusing to have your reasoning distorted like that.
