It seems that whenever lying is being discussed people are quick to come up with justifications for why it’s okay in certain situations, the classic one being that you were served food that you didn’t like but when asked said that you did.
This seems to assume that the other people in fact would have preferred the lie over the truth. So I ask: when do you yourself prefer the lie?
Lie about the little things that don’t really matter. Forgot to do something but it shouldn’t take long? Tell me you’re just getting around to it or just got it done. Did I ask you to grab something but you didn’t look? Tell me you couldn’t find it.
These are inconsequential lies that don’t hurt and doesn’t invent a reality that has to be remembered. There is such a thing as too much honesty
That’s a really good take.
