Deciphering the value of the hands raised to the face

Bill Clinton speaks to the Grand Jury. What do you think he is thinking about now?

If you always spoke the pure truth alone, what would your relationship with others be like? If you said the first thing that comes to your mind, what consequences would this have? Let's give a small example.

Communicating with the boss: "Good morning, boss, - you are a tale of a dolt!" Male seller to customer: “Thank you for your purchase, Susan. I must say that you have a beautiful, elastic chest! " A woman to her neighbor: “Thank you for helping to bring the purchase to the door. You have great, strong buttocks, but what kind of idiot did you haircut? " Man mother-in-law: “Very glad to see you again - an old, annoying bat!”

When a woman asks: “Does this dress make me look fat?”, What will you say to her? If you are a man and you know what is beneficial for you, then answer that she looks beautiful. But deep down you will think: “This is not a dress that makes you look fat, but all the endless cakes and ice cream that you have eaten.”
If you were constantly telling the whole truth and everyone around you, you would have ended your days all alone in a hospital bed or even in prison. A lie is an oil that “lubricates” our relations with others and allows us not to offend friends and close people. Such a lie can be called white, because its main task is to make other people feel comfortable and calm in our society. Cold, bitter lie does not contribute to this. Studies show that people who use lies to communicate are much more popular than truth lovers. And this despite the fact that almost everyone feels a lie. But there is a malicious lie, when one person deliberately deceives another in order to obtain benefits.
