Lie a lot
If it were all about telling the truth always, life would have been a lot easier.
We almost constantly go through this decision making process through the day. We have to choose between telling the truth and state things as they are, or lie. Or may be reach a middle ground, truth that is ever so slightly altered?
It is amazing. Someone asks you a question, and your brain weighs priorities, evaluates pros and cons, reviews immediate and future consequences and examines the emotional effects of each decision. It digs up past, present and future impressions, any related experience is made part of the decision making process. Each decision is then assigned a score, based on which the winning decision is then converted into syllables and intonations that liberate from your mouth. No, it’s not over. The brain’s now intently focusing on the other being’s eyes and body language. It now has to evaluate if the decision had all the intended consequences.
Always give your brain more work, so it stays sharp. Lie a lot :-)
