Some philosophers argue that any lie, even a white lie, is harmful and immoral. This means that parents should not tell their young children that the Easter Bunny, or Santa Claus, or the Tooth Fairy exists. This also means that any white lie about one's opinions on an outfit or one's feelings toward an unwanted birthday present would be unethical. This idea is not realistic. Always telling the whole truth would not only damage relationships, but would also leave many children without imagination and without the joy that these fictional characters often bring. Another more complicated example involves monetary greed. As a member of the Methodist Church, I was taught to give what I have to those in need. That might mean I should reach into my wallet when I see a man holding a cardboard sign on the highway. Or it could mean that every time I come across a charity, I should donate to support the cause. As a young adult, however, I simply don't have all this money. I can't work during the school year, so I have to make my summer earnings last the entire year. If I were to consistently donate my extra funds to others in need, I would quickly find myself with similar needs. In this case, my greed is justified. It's okay for me to save my money and use it where I want. It shouldn't be immoral for me to do that
