RE: "Lies or truth" πŸ€” | Weekend-Engagement writing topics: WEEK 164

in Weekend Experiences β€’ last year

Hello and welcome to my community.

Thanks for getting involved with this week's topics and for following the guidelines I set. You make some really good points in your post. How do you feel not being able to lie would impact your life? Would it be complicated or do you think it would be easy?

Sort: Β 

Hello! Thank you very much for welcoming me and for reading my post πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I think that at first it would be somewhat complicated, because like any new experience in life, it would require an adaptation process, and I must admit that many times in the past I decided to resort to the use of the so-called "white lies" to avoid causing pain to another person, therefore, finding myself in that kind of situation would surely be quite challenging 😳.

However, with the passage of time I feel that I would not miss lying, because without lying I would no longer experience that small guilt for telling "white lies", and also, as I mentioned in my post, it would be a wonderful opportunity to practice and improve my assertive communication πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ’œ

Thank you for your question and for this great topic πŸ₯°

I think white lies are acceptable, and often required...like when one is trying to do something nice for their partner's birthday like a surprise weekend away. Having to tell the truth would ruin the surprise right?

Yes, it is true that white lies are widely used and with good intentions πŸ’œ which is why I recognize that a whole process of adaptation would be needed to get the idea of ​​living without them 😳.

One of the disadvantages would be not being able to organize surprise parties like you mentioned anymore, because it would really ruin the surprise, and so I would have to limit myself to giving direct details to my partner with no surprise involved πŸ€”

For disadvantages like that, I would surely miss the possibility of telling white lies, but I would still prefer that option over having to believe everything other people tells me πŸ˜…, which would bring me even more danger-related disadvantages.

Thank you for contributing further to the development of this interesting topic ✨
