The little White lie. They were used a little more than usual today. I admit I use them. They are ambiguous and subtle, and calm. They can be like a smooth river rock thrown so perfectly, causing small ripples of abuse to our spirit, but we should not be abused. The truth is we all do it. We use the White lie.  The question is “how do we manage it in our lives?”

White lies are needed in our communication with others, from strangers on the street to family members to lovers and friends. Do not let the White Lies be abusive to your spirit. They are part of communicating. But not a necessity. We always have a choice.

Through a mindful process, ask yourself —- will this White lie be beneficial? Harmless? Will I hurt anybody? Could I tell the truth? Do I want to tell the truth? Will it be a gracious gesture? Why? Who? 

What do you think about White lies? I know how I live with them. How do you?
