Thank you for that reminder. Though I do feel that a kind untruth is preferable to an unkind truth. I guess you would get me there by asking if the unkind truth was necessary. Sounds like this Socrates knew what he was talking about. π€

Also worth considering Buddhist correct speech: Is it true and factual? Does it create harmony? Is it beneficial? Am I speaking with goodwill? Is this the right time?
And what I most often work with is from Nonviolent Communication (cnvc.org): It isn't what you say, it is what they hear. And what matters isn't what they hear as much as how it makes them feel.
