Reading the answers here, I keep thinking "Is lying acceptable in India and preferred over hurting someone's pride?" When I was young (U.S.), there were several times when my father ordered me to apologize for an action and I responded "I am not trying to be difficult, but I cannot apologize since I would be lying by doing so." He was furious, of course, and I was punished even worse for the insubordination, but I did not violate my morals. Un-bruised morals are more important than un-bruised skin, despite the pain. | |

Or does everyone have to pay attention regardless of their learning? | |
