This is ridiculous. A “truth twister”? This isn’t hypocrisy. This is lying. To yourself, mostly.
I think I’m similar to CronoDAS in being a “truth twister”, but I don’t know the exact details of how much truth (s)he is willing to twist, so I’m not sure how similar we are.
Unless you live in a cave, you tell white lies every day. Ever say Good Afternoon when you didn’t feel like it?
I’d like to make a point here. When someone says “Good morning” to you and you reply “Good morning” back to them, the information you are communicating is that you are greeting them, not that you actually think this morning is a good morning or anything like that. So in this sense, I wouldn’t consider it a lie to say “Good morning” even if though the morning were particularly bad.
As I understand it, ‘Good morning!’ is short for ‘I wish you a good morning.’, not ‘I’m having a good morning.’. It’s not a lie if you’re in a bad mood, but it may be a lie if you say it to somebody that you dislike.
