Upcoming topic: Are white lies good or bad? Do you engage in them? Do you sometimes feel it was the wrong decision? Do you fess up in those instances? Do you want to be told white lies? Do you lie to yourself sometimes? Can you share examples of when white lies brought people closer together? Can you share specific examples of when white lies created distance and disconnection in a relationship?
