It is one thing for you to tell a lie. It is another to cause others to tell lies because of you. Telushkin gives an interesting example. If two people are whispering in your presence, then it can be assumed they don’t want you to hear what they are discussing. If you ask them, they will probably tell you a lie - you are causing them to lie. Curiosity is one thing - it drives discovery - but we must all be aware of when being curious is appropriate and when it will simply lead us to cause harm to others. An interesting idea to consider.
