Something That Disturbs Me

Something that disturbs me in Lois Lowry's novel, The Giver is the rule that was given to Jonas for being a receiver is you may lie. In the real world you the general population lies every day. In this community a lie is like a curse. Whats the point of being able to lie if after twelve years of not lying you would start to lie now? As a receiver though you would have to tell the truth most of the time, so that rule is not that important to him. "Still, the final rule said ... well, he wasn't quite ready to think about the final rule on the page." He knows he won't be using that rule that much. This is truly why this rule disturbs me.
