Lying

"Mic" a news site, was discovered to have copied from other news sites without giving these other sites recognition as the original source of the news.  Mic lied.  To claim something as your own that is not, is lying, no?  Mic is a site for the younger generation.  What is different about the younger generation is not that they lie.  Lying is older than the ten commandments.  The difference is that geezers like me know it is wrong.  The younger generation does not think lying is wrong.  It is just what one does.  It is OK to lie.  Lie to avoid punishment or to get something is just part of living.  The sad part is that it is a diminished life.  Getting things the honest way is for suckers, losers.  No wonder so many young people are so unhappy, yet have so much in the way of gadgets, internet, modern conveniences.  Their soul is not being fed properly.  It is a spiritual hunger that goes undernourished.  Some are probably wondering what is the big deal about Brian Williams, the newscaster, being punished.  I am glad that lying still bothers me.
