Mazur proves how a son is not honest, but the situation demands it. “A son donates his late mother's possessions to the poor after promising to honor her request that the money be placed in her coffin. The son lies by falsely promising to honor his request” (Mazur 2). If the son were honest, the mother would be very upset. On the other hand, following mother's advice would lead to waste, theft, etc. Next, a brother is able to help his sister by "lying about his sister's whereabouts to the drunken husband who threatens to harm her." If the brother told the truth to her husband, the sister would find herself in a very dangerous position. From my own life, my second aunt always likes to tell the truth to her family, causing a lot of tension between family members, which only makes things worse. Sometimes it is better to lie when it will benefit another person or help someone.
