In this episode we explore why we tell lies. Generally we lie either to protect ourselves, or to protect others! But of course, there is lots of nuance within those positions. We discuss whether there is such a thing as a white lie, and whether they are ever ok.
Sometimes, might lying be a kindness? Or perhaps there is a pleasant way to express our truth – if the intention is good then perhaps it will land better with us?
The longer the discussion goes on, the more we realise in how many different ways we use the word ‘lie’! This was such an interesting conversation to have, and we ended up with the idea that the intention behind everything we say is the most important thing. And sometimes we could do with being more honest!
