RE: Why Justify a Lie?

in Freewriters • 9 months ago

Wanting... needing... waiting...
for you
to justify my lie

Yeah ok so that's not how the song goes. But I agree, lying is lame in most cases. "I'd rather not say" is what I am learning to say rather than lie in the case of boundaries and privacy.

    That sounds better than the original :)

    I can't stand lying. It used to trigger the hell outta me. Send me into a rage.

    Now it only make me frown a bit. If at all. Progress.

    I think I need to learn more of your diplomacy 😆 (I know I do!)

    I can't think of any situation I'd not be able to tell the truth in anymore, actually. Why wouldn't you regarding boundaries etc?

    Now you've made me curious! Oh boy

      I'm still learning my own diplomacy, really. It's been in that awkward stage between conceptualization and application for years now. COnstantly re-conceptualizing as old scenarios present themselves in a new light to my ever-growing self...

      I think there are still times where tact in an issue, and a soft lie is better. For example:

      Provider: How are you doing today?
      Patient: Oh, my back hurts, and my neck pain has flared up again since last week. Looking forward to my massage. How are you?
      Provider: Awful. I've had stomach pain and diarrhea all week. I really didn't want to come in today but I have to make money so here I am. Let's get this done shall we so I can go home. Great! Definitely looking forward to the weekend.
