Little Lies

Is it really lying if you both know it’s a lie? Isn’t it just… a temporary suspension of disbelief? Like going to the theatre… Just turn out the lights and tell pretty lies and suspend your disbelief just for a little while…

Can’t it be kind to suspend disbelief for a little while? If you both know it’s a lie… Can’t it be a gift? To say… You are worth something to someone… You are good and decent… You are lovable… You are loved…

Is the truth really better?
