Tuesday Two - Episode 3

Play along at Patrick's Place!  
It's time for another edition of the Tuesday Two.  But first, this is something very important:  remember the rules of this game:  there is one topic, two different questions, but you pick the one you want to answer and answer only that one.  

Some of you have been answering both questions.  Don't.  There's a very good reason for this, which you'll find out about in a few weeks.  So remember:  answer only one of these questions.

Congratulations to Julie of "Drivin' it home," who was first to answer last week's question on premarital sex.

Now, onto this week's topic, which was suggested by Bill.  II hope my questions do his topic justice.  

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:    LIES

QUESTION A:
Think about the last person you were dishonest with who still doesn't know you were dishonest.  What would it take to get you to admit the truth?

or

QUESTION B:
A close relative dies after having revealed that she has been lying about something that would affect the whole family...a paternity issue, for example.  Having revealed this information to you on her deathbed to clear her conscience, she makes you promise not to reveal the truth to anyone.  Would you keep that promise?

Okay…I would tell the relative that I would keep their secret cause it would make them feel better to say it out loud, a clearing of their conscience, a last resort to make things right.  Obviously this has really been bugging them and they feel they have to tell someone.  I honestly feel that the dying relative wants to make things right by the confession and is hoping you would tell.  Then, I would weigh what was told to me and decide whether I would reveal the secret or not.  I honestly feel there should not be secrets in the family…that is how families are destroyed.  I have witnessed this fact with my husband and how destructive secrets have been within his circle.
