According to Emmanuel Kant, lying is doubly wrong:
Lying corrupts the moral capacity of human
It prevents others to act rationally and freely, i.e. lie undermines the dignity of others.
It is a duty to refute any lie told against you, just as it is a moral virtue to accept truth brought about you.
Being honest and truthful even in bad situations is considered the standard. Honesty is the best policy. Nevertheless, philosophers have pondered that lying is allowed if it is necessary and would hurt not hurt the innocent and would save lives. However, there is no worse wrong than someone lying by accusing another of lying. Lying with malicious intent and lying because of one’s ego with intention to jeopardize another is a sin.
So, let us talk about wrong truth. Judas Iscariot was a disciple and one of the original Twelve Disciples of Jesus Christ. According to all four canonical gospels, Judas betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin in the Garden of Gethsemane by kissing him and addressing him as "Rabbi" to reveal his identity to the crowd who had come to arrest him. Judas did not lie but had betrayed Jesus Christ by telling the truth about his identity.
Same case can me made of Jeff Bezos, the Amazon tycoon, whose extra marital affair was exposed by National Enquirer that published an exclusive Bezos’s romantic relationship with former television anchor Lauren Sanchez, who is married to prominent Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell.
Benjamin Constant (political reactions), which advocates a right to lie from mankind, made the following case: “Telling the truth is a duty towards those who are entitled to the truth. But no man has a right to the truth that harms others.”
In my observations of these arguments one thing hold true from all the philosopher’s perspectives, and that is the abhorrence for malicious intentions. This is the standard for what is right or what is wrong.
