searching for whats ethical

My cousin a utilitarian person tout me many things when it comes to lying, cheating and stealing. There are many cases were they believe that it is ethical to lie, cheat or steal he explained the circumstances which now for me seem pretty logic after a while o hearing how people that fallow this moral idea think. Happiness is the level were each and every person following this idea should be because of this is that in some cases it is said that it is ethical to lie cheat or steal. This happiness should be given to the majority number is what is really important in this type of idea. An example of how any of this lying, cheating or stealing can be ethical if it is helping a group which is the majority. Lying could be an ethical thing to do if it is lies that won’t heart anyone instead benefit the person. Stealing would be an ethical thing to do when it is done to help a group like a family who needs it and the person who was been steeled from doest find out and with time the group returns what they stole. When it comes to cheating it is said that cheating would be ethical if it something that will help and not damage or destroy. All this three things can be resume in the search of one word which is the main principle as my cousin told me and this word is happiness. At last what’s important is the happiness of the whole group.
