Moral Dillema
Are you allowed to break an agreement or promise you made to someone if afterwards they treat you very poorly and are treacherous to you?
- On the one hand, it would be sinking to their level and two wrongs dont make a right
- On the other hand, it doesnt seem fair or just to continue keeping the agreement with such a person
What do you think?

if you can help removing yourself from the kind of pressure this person puts on you or their general company, do so..but only if you're not violating their rights or something. like for example, a parent or someone.

Scenerio:
First, Person A makes you agree to not tell Person B anything about Person A or what Person A is up to.
Then, Person A screws you over and is very treacherous.
Is it okay for me to tell Person B what Person A did?

Re: Moral Dillema
The proper way of canceling an agreement is to inform the other party of your intent to do so beforehand. If the contract was in writing, then inform them of your intentions in writing.
They may ask you to abide by the agreement for everything that took place upto the point of termination, but after that point its all fair game.

Re: Moral Dillema
Well assuming this is not a contract................. you answer to God and so follow the standards he laid forth and keep your word. But that doesn't mean that you can't show that you're upset or confront the person (in a civil manner of course)...

Re: Moral Dillema
Personally, i would walk away. I have a personality that cannot deal with confrontations and i guess i believe that at the end of the day if this is a relationship where you have to fight for your innocence then this isn't a relationship worth fighting for in the first place.
Learn your lesson, take it with a pinch of salt and just seperate yourself from the situation. Best of luck.

Re: Moral Dillema
It depends what the thing is they want you to keep a secret, and what the thing is that they did to you.

This.
You don't need that kind of drama in your life, it's childish. Someone treats you badly, I personally leave the door open for forgiveness but until then there's no reason to continue association and there's no reason to end it with negativity from your end. |
