Do circumstances determine whether or not we should tell the truth

I guess circumstances do determine if we should tell the truth or not. It might not be the most morally right thing to do but then again if it is something that you really have to lie about then morals can probably wait a little bit. You know the best example that could possibly exist for this question would be Gregory House from the TV show House. If you do not know who House is go ahead and watch the Pilot episode. It's okay. I'll wait…. I assume you're done or already know House since you are continuing to read this okay? Well like I said House is the perfect example of how sometimes lying is useful because people are stupid and in certain situations, stupidity can really kill you. Like dead. So House and his team of doctors are diagnostician who figure out and tell people why they are dying (usually after lots of tests and needles). But to keep the show interesting the cases he deals with often stump other doctors or the patients are usually hiding something and House has to use unorthodox methods to figure out why their insides are liquefying and stuff like that. Not only does he lie, he also dabbles in breaking and entering, fights with patients, and guessing the medicine needed and hoping they don't die. Most of the time they don't. Which is great because not everyone is dead. So yes lie if the situation needs it because it might save a life. Because the truth is over rated anyways. Unless you were dying. Then it's probably safe to assume that you should be telling the truth. Other places where telling the truth would be advised would be like court or something or you know when someone is pointing a gun at you asking where you hid the money that you stole from that van you found sitting on the highway at two AM five months ago after a party in San Antonio. But these are just words on a screen. You don’t have to listen to them. It's like the speed limit. You don’t have to follow it unless someone is there to enforce that rule. If you are going to lie you better be freaking good at it though because lying after taking an oath is "against the law" or something like that. Well their loss I guess because unlike the other guy's story, mine had dinosaurs and Neil Patrick Harris so it's pretty safe to say I win that one. So for my fabulous conclusion of this really long commentary I would like to thank all my Tumblr followers and that cake I had because man that was some delicious cake and I don’t think I would be here without the support of all my loving fans and so in the conclusions conclusion I do believe that we hold these truths to be self whoops wrong speech yeah if the situation needs it you have the green light to lie. Feel free to make crap up. No one's stopping you.
