Those little white lies. Don't do any harm or do they? Is is always best to tell the truth! Well it actually saves what you told someone about a situation. Catching someone in a lie, changes one's opinion of that person doesn't it? Let's say your friend has a new hair cut! Do you tell the person it looks great when you don't think it does? Or I usually say, oh you changed your hair! How do you like it? It isn't up to anyone to approve what someone does so pretending to agree or support or like something is rather fake. I like to say- there is another way to view the situation! Or there is another choice! If you do not like something, being honest can mean just not saying anything! Keeping one's thoughts and opinions to one's self can save the day. Fashion for example is very personal. So if you wear certain fashions or style doesn't mean others have to like what you wear and vice versa! Cosmetic surgery! The person with the deer in the head light lifted eye lids thinks he/she looks great and youthful. Do you tell that person honestly, you look like a deer in the head lights- probably not! That person probably thinks you look old and wrinkled! So just smiling and not saying anything can help. Helping children with their self esteem does not mean praising everything they do. But acknowledging and asking to tell about the activities in their lives sure helps! Listening is a good skill- grounds for another post! The truth and nothing but the truth does help. Or like the fisherman- the fish was this big!!! Is exaggeration a lie? What do you think?
