How white lies help!

Honesty is ofcourse the best policy, mostly. But how far does it help in situations which are, a lot of times, not ideal? In the sense, in those moments and instances, where the one you're talking to cannot understand why you did, said, or believe something, upon the truth informed?


Let me put it straight - not everyone can take everything. Weren't there moments in life where your parents freaked out upon learning your actually-harmless, freaky adventure? Wasn't your boyfriend upset that you did not call him at 10:00 pm dot?  Didn't your friends feel bad that you did not turn up for an event for which you promised you would, just because your mood wasn't right to be in a crowd and nothing else? These or similar ones, happen in everyone's life. 


Your parents-friends-boyfriends-whoever your dear and near are, are expected to understand your situation and mentality for sure. But how often does this 'ideal thing' happen? Weren't there instances where one, harmless, no -strings- attached whitelie would have saved the situation and brought smiles to the faces? Oh come-on there were!


Get this clear guys - that the line between a whitelie and actuality is not very thin. All you've to do is add in the right expression and tone to it - afterall, all the world is a stage and we're actors on it, and we're there not to create chaos but bring in happiness. 


For eg; if your boyfriend calls upset that you didn't call him at 10:00 - and your reason is that what you wanted to do was pubbing - go into a safe corner and tell him "I so sorry honey, got caught up in a hurriedly fixed cross timezone meeting! Will call you soon after that, muah! Unless your boyfriend is your office team mate, or is pubbing in the same place, or a 'True lies' kinda spy, this is enough to cool him down. Just see to it that your excuse sounds soothing and situationally correct, and the background noise doesn't contradict it! 
Through this excuse, was any harm done to him? No, believe me, unless your relationship is already on the rocks, were this or more is the expected behaviour. I'm talking about saving moments, situations, just to have some peace and deal with differences, where the actual togetherness is sweet, minus some white-lie-handled conflicts.


Having a blood relationship of any kind of relationship do not assure same wavelength in thinking. All it gives is the mutual care and concern, which comes out as love, but sadly intruding into the breathing space it requires. Just toss one of this, and your life is peaceful. Believe me, the beneficiaries of the skill are the ones who prompted me to jot it down. 

Tailpeace: It's up to you to believe me or not whether this is a whitelie. What really matters is whether you care to try this out, or whether you are really bothered at all!
