ethical dilemma would you lie 1

Your plan to set up your friend Carey with your acquaintance Emerson

finally coming together.

Both individuals have heard all about each other and they’re eager

to meet for dinner.

You’ve just made them a reservation for Friday night, and you’re about

to text Carey the details when an unsettling thought crosses your

mind: Carey is always late.

And not just by 5 minutes; we’re talking twenty or even thirty

minutes late.

Carey seems to view punctuality as an oppressive relic of an earlier

era.

But what if you told them dinner was at 6 instead of 6:30?

That way, they would almost certainly(j)arrive on time.

You really want this relationship to work, so... should you lie?

Take a moment to think: what would you do?

Maybe you should lie! You think this new relationship could be

great for Carey, and you don’t want them to ruin it before it’s even

begun.
