Just to be aware of it

Just re-posting one of my old posts as a remind on the awareness of in the current turbulent time...
So, based on Wikipedia, St Augustine divided lies into eight categories, listed in order of descending severity:

• Lies in religious teaching.
• Lies that harm others and help no one.
• Lies that harm others and help someone.
• Lies told for the pleasure of lying.
• Lies told to “please others in smooth discourse.”
• Lies that harm no one and that help someone.
• Lies that harm no one and that save someone’s life.
• Lies that harm no one and that save someone’s “purity.”
