You may find it difficult to digest!!!

There is a very subtle observation I have made through my experiences. It is about hiding your secrets without lying.

You must be agreeing with the thought that we all love to speak truth. But there are few instances in life when one cannot speak the truth. In these situations one finds himself in a very critical stage. Either one has to lie and break his oath or else one has to speak the truth which is anyways not possible for him. So what should one do under these states of affairs? Should one lie and come under the category of people where most of the population is, or one should hold on to his position and raise himself above the bars?

Well the observation is that when a person is interrogating you for knowing the truth, he develops a frame of mind such that his thought process gets defined and he cannot think out of that. This happens with most of the people. So when an interrogator asks you some question he is expecting an answer for it. But your answer is something which you cannot tell. So if you are aware of his expectation and you know that your true answer is not what he is expecting then you can easily say the truth. He will keep asking you the same question in order to push you to give the answer he wants from you ignoring the true answer you have given. But your job is done as you have spoken the truth and it is not your mistake if the other person does not believe you. The important thing here is the style in which you deliver the truth. It should be on a funny node so that the other person should not have slightest of the idea that the statement you have given can even be true.

For example, your friends at office ask you to come for the lunch during the break. But you cannot go because you have some personal appointment regarding a business meeting. And you cannot tell this because your friends don’t know your personal business. You also know that they have an expectation from you that you must be going out with a gorgeous girl for lunch. So in this case how should you speak the truth?

Friends : Hey!!! Let’s go for Lunch.

You : No dude! Little Busy.

Friends : Come on!!! We know that you will be going out with her. But you cannot ignore us. Come now…let’s go.

You : It’s not that. I am seriously busy.

Friends : Ok!!! Can you tell that why are you busy? After all friends should know!!!

You : (With smile) I have a personal business meeting

(wink).

Friends : ooooooov!!!! OK OK that’s fine. Carry on. Smile.

They left.

So by this way you have spoken the truth without actually giving them the impression of it.

So keep saying truth!!! ;)
