I agree with statement #1 because sometimes the truth is better untold. Some people can't handle the truth and it is being for it to be unsaid. For statement #4 I disagree because if they don't ask you it's not a lie. I also disagree with statement #9. The laws of the land aren't always the best. Someone could've made a law a decade ago but it might no longer be valid because things change. Statement #11 I disagree with because altough it's good to put others before yourself, sometimes you just need to focus on you. Lastly i agree with statement #6 because some people are worth dying for.

#1 I don’t think you should lie, people need to hear the truth.I agree with #2 that you should always admit fault, even when it can cost you. #6 I think somethings are worth dying for, especially if it family. #13 I agree that you should always forgive others for what they done, even if they don’t think they did anything wrong. #14 I don’t think age should matter that much when it comes to a relationship, as long as they have love for each other. #17 I think that you should never cheat on someone who tries there hardest to be with you and give you the world. #19 A person is guilty until proven innocent.

I disagree with #14 to a certain extent because there is a difference between bing 3 years apart and being 15 years apart. I would also disagree with #17 because lying or cheating is not okay not matter what the situation is. I disagree with #11 because it is not my obligation it is my choice to put others before myself. I agree with #13 because i feel i should always forgive someone and just put what happened in the past.I agree with #4 because what is the point in withholding the truth they will eventually find out the whole story. The reasons for agreeing and disagreeing with these is because i am a straight up person i don't like lying and i will always tell you what you want to hear.

I think there are times when lying is okay. The truth can hurt more than a lie and holding the truth can be alright. Withholding the truth is not the same as telling a lie. If they don't ask then your not really lying to the person your just holding it in. Some things are worth dying for because everyone has something that is important for them. I think someone is innocent until proven guilty. What doesn't kill you does make you stronger, it can teach you a lesson so you won't make the same mistake twice.

I think lying is good because sometimes they must not know what they cant handle. Forgivness is something i do not agree bevause i think it is something that people dont need if they do it right. Putting others first is something i dont agree because i need to be alive first. Society needs to help with the peace because its the only way possible. What dosent destroy us make us stonger i agree because we can always be better. Age matters in a relationship because it is just weird. Education is mandatory because we all need to learn to move on.

I agree with there are times when lying is okay because sometimes the truth hurts and you dont want to hurt that person. I disagree that religion makes people more moral because I have seen very moral atheists. I agree someone is innocent until proven guilty because no one knows for sure if they are guilty unless provided evidence. I agree with you should always abide by the rules of the land because if all men are angels we dont need rules. I agree some things are worth dying for because I would for my family.

I agree it’s okay to lie only sometimes. I say this because I know sometimes you don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. I disagree with some things that are worth dying for literally unless it’s ur mom because like that’s your mom what the heck. I agree with we need society to help keep the piece because we need less conflict and more production and products. I agree with silence can be as criminal as action because you could know something that could endanger someone’s life. I agree you should always obey the laws of the land in order to be safe.Because if you don’t someone or something could get angry and hurt you.

I think it is ok to lie sometimes because sometimes the truth isn’t the best thing in tough situations but you shouldn’t lie all the time. I disagree that religion makes people moral because I know a lot of immoral religious people. I agree that you should other people first because that way you can show how you are, like I have a friend who is the nicest guy ever and he prioritizes others instead of himself. I also believe there are things worth dying for like family and friends or something really important or with a lot of meaning. I think age is important in a relationship because it’s weird if the age gap is large, it’s very weird and the laws think so too. I agree with forgiving everybody even if they haven’t repented yet because we’re all human but somebody has to be the bigger person.

I agree with statement six because many people do believe dying for someone or something really shows how much they care. I would die for any of my siblings, its just that type of love where there is no limit. Also I disagree with number eleven because I believe that I should focus on myself before others no matter the situation. If I am not ok and I know it im going to spend my time trying to help myself rather than help someone else. I also disagree with number twelve because what doesnt kill you does not make you stronger, most times all it does is make you wish you were dead. If one goes through something terrible and they survive most times they wish they didnt, they live in fear or pain or anger. But I do agree with number fourteen, you must always forgive just never forget. Holding a grudge can do a wear and tear in the human brain and forgiving that person will bring so much ease to your mind, like taking a load off your chest. I however disagree with statement seventeen because if one believes lying and cheating is ok as long as they dont get caught they will do it more and more until that is all they do. It would be as if one were to cheat on their spouse, it does not make it any less wrong just because they didnt find out and sooner or later you will get caught.

Lying isn't necessarily a sin, sometimes the truth stings and people would rather soften the blow. Honesty is a great quality to have, but lying can avoid a lot of problems. Depending on the circumstances, one can decide whether is it appropriate or not to slightly stretch the truth. I agree with the statement, "Silence can be as criminal as action." I've seen it in my daily life recently. A couple days ago I had a conflict with someone close to me but my solution was to give it time, and stay away. Which ultimately worsened the situation from lack of communication. As a result from my silence the other party grew more upset from lack of effort and solution. After communicating I realized I felt better because I got to get the things I needed to say off my chest, and the other party felt better due to resolution. The problem was solved. "It is important to forgive others, even if they haven't repented." Despite my ex's mistreatment, disrespect, or betrayal against me, I still don't hold resentment. Why would I? Even though he hurt me in ways unimaginable and unforgivable, I forgive him. Why? Because ultimately he made me a stronger person, and taught me not to be as gullible. Allowing me to let go of past trauma, and clear my conscience.

I disagree with statement #1 because lying is not ok to most of the time but there’s an exception to it. I agree with statement #2 because if you caused something then you should be able to stand for it. I agree with statement #4 because of dodging from telling someone the truth is basically telling them a lie. I agree with statement #6 because somethings are with the risk of your life just to prove you care or love something/someone. I disagree with statement #16 because cheating is never ok because if you truly love the person why would you hurt them. They trust you with their life and you hurt them by doing. Like come on they wouldn’t do that to you why would you do it to them.

I agree with statement “it is important to forgive other even if they haven’t repented.” I agree with it because you never know what could happen and it could be the last time you see someone. And if you held a grudge over something and you never got to see them again then you’d regret not forgiving them. I also agree with “some things are worth dying for.” I agree with that statement because when I read this it made me think about how I’d die for my mom, so there are some things that are worth dying for. A statement that I agree and disagree on is the statement “age doesn’t matter in a relationship between a man and women.” I agree because if they are only 2-4 years apart then it doesn’t matter. But depending on the age gap I disagree because if it were to be a girl who’s 18 with a guy that’s 68 I think it would be weird. I disagree with the statement “it is okay to lie as long as you don’t get caught.” I disagree because no matter if someone knows or not, lying is never a good thing to do.

I agree with #1 I feel like when it’s a small lie to protect some one you care about , but at some point you should come clean . I agree with #7 we need some sort of society to keep peace if we don’t have a society it becomes anarchy we’ll be in a state of chaos and panic people will most likely not act civil there would be no peace and if there some how were it would not be stable . I disagree with #9 you wouldn’t always obey the law basic laws that are logical yes but there are some extreme laws that are unfair and then their are just some laws that don’t make sense to follow . I also disagree with #14 it does matter the age between a man and a women in a relationship especially when the women isn’t even a women yet or the man is still a boy they might look mature on the outside but they are still children who don’t know how to act or think right don’t know how to make hard decisions and don’t realize when they are being used or manipulated . I disagree with #20 religion does not make people more moral traeré are a ton of people who use religion as an excuse to do bad things or to justify why they do bad things even to persecute other people on why there morals are bad .

I disagree that someone is allowed to cheat as long as they do not get caught. It is flat out wrong to do something like that and I would not want anyone going through something like that. Age does matter in relationships only depending on the situation of course. everybody thinks differently and has different opinions but to me it is very weird. I always believed that a person is innocent until proven guilty. There are some cases that people are wrongly accused. I think that is wrong to straight up accuse someone unless it is obvious enough.

I disagree with the fact that it is ok to cheat on you’re loved one cause it’s completely not ok to betray someone who has put a lot of trust in you and all that loyalty just for it to be thrown away is absolutely not ok. I agree to the second statement only for the fact that it’s ok to admit to fault even if there is a punishment that follows it just means you will learn from it. I disagree with 17 for the fact it’s never ok to cheat or lie to someone’s face it's unacceptable and just shouldn’t be done to anyone. I feel like statement 6 is a agree and disagree for the fact there are certain things in my opinion that are worth dying for an example could be dying for your own family I value my family more than anything in the world and would put myself at risk to protect them and even if it means dying to protect them is worth it for me. Also I can see how others disagree for other things that really are common sense and we can process what’s worth and not worth it. I agree with the 9th statement cause it’s just common sense to not do anything bad but we still have those people who still disobey the law and I think there will be times where a person has had enough of breaking the laws of the land.

Think number 5 is absolutely correct. It says “ silence can be as criminal as action”. I agree with this because i and many others have experienced a moment when we saw something happen and nobody said anything, including you. I also really was drawn to number 17. It says “ it is okay to cheat, as long as you don’t get caught”. and this in my opinion is wrong because people do get their families torn apart because of it. That will never be okay.

I agree with #1 because I think the truth should sometimes be untold. I disagree with the one that says cheating on your loved ones is ok I don’t think it’s ok to cheat on someone you love. I disagree with the silence is a crime because sometimes seeing stuff and not telling anybody is a bad thing. I agree with the one that’s says somethings are worth dying for because like your family you would save them. I agree with #2 because if you cause something you should be able to tell people that you did it and not hide it.

i agree with #1 because if you are lying to save others or the greater good i believe that is okay. I agree with #6 that somethings are worth dying for because you can die to save others and for something you believe in. I disagree with #9 because if the laws of the land are not justified i don't think you should follow them. I disagree with #12 because that which doesn't destroy us doesn't make us stronger, an example of this can be if you break your leg in a bad accident, your leg will never be the same and will be weaker as a result therefore that which doesn't kill you doesn't make you stronger. i Disagree with #20 when it says religion makes people more moral because there are still plenty of religious people who do terrible things.

I think there are times when lying is alright. Reality can sting beyond what an untruth and holding reality can be okay. Retaining the fact of the matter isn't equivalent to lying. On the off chance that they don't ask, at that point your not so much deceiving the individual your simply holding it in. A few things merit biting the dust for on the grounds that everybody has something that is significant for them. I think somebody is blameless until demonstrated liable. What doesn't slaughter you makes you more grounded, it can show you a thing or two so you won't commit a similar error twice.

I agree with #1 because some people cannot handle what is being said to them. I agree with number #2 due to the fact that without admitting your faults you can never grow or change from them. I agree with number #6 because some people have things they cherish more than themselves like family, pets, etc. #12 is also true because obstacles you overcome/face make you stronger once you get passed it. #18 is heavily agreeable as some are taught to live one way starting very young and because of that have beliefs that make them incapable of operating with others. It can be due to religious beliefs or just the anxiety of socializing with others.

#1 I disagree because lying is never okay because if you truly care about someone you should know they deserve to hear the truth. #6 I disagree because even though something might make you feel amazing the things of the world aren't as valuable as your life. #9 I agree with this because if we all followed the law no one would be injured or killed and the world would become a more trusting and comfortable place. #11 I agree with it but I feel it depends who you decide to put before yourself because sometimes it can harm your health and they could just take advantage of your kindness. #12 I agree with this because no matter how difficult the times you go through may be I believe we all go through things for a reason and if you manage to survive it'll make you strong enough to deal with things in the future. #13 I agree with always forgiving others even if they haven't asked for it because it's not healthy to keep hatred festering in your heart and it'll help you to get that closure you might need. #14 I disagree because I feel there is definitely a big difference in maturity among different ages. #16 I disagree with this because if you're going to cheat on someone they don't have your full love and you should just end things instead of hurting them because of your own personal issues. #20 I disagree with this because there are a lot of false prophets out there and just because someone claims to be religious doesn't necessarily mean they are moral and righteous.

I agree with #2 because you should be honest and admit that you’re wrong. I agree with #1 since some people will keep asking you things if you don’t lie to them. I disagree with #11 since you should usually put yourself first. I disagree with #16 since adultery should never be acceptable. I agree with #19 since when there is no proof that someone is guilty they’re innocent.
