Would it be friendly if we were brought up without little lies. Our teachers promised us to enjoy sleeping when high school is over. Only to get through and realize bills awaiting can't allow you to oversleep Which other little lie you came to realize it is was a motivation to keep you moving and not the truth.

I mean it may not be friendly but it would be a lot better to be truthful while being tactful. Could you imagine if young people were actually prepared for adulthood? Granted if people believed that they could just enjoy sleep after high school they are extremely naive. Do your parents just enjoy sleep? Probably not. Same naivety as people actually believing they could do what they want when they became legal age spoiler alert nope.

"Our teachers promised us to enjoy sleeping when high school is over." -- What is that supposed to mean? I don't understand what you're telling us here. Sleep where and when?

@Maluse this used to happen when one is late from attending classes or the teacher finds you sleeping while he is lecturing. They would tell us to focus if we were in form III or Form IV, after the main exam we shall enjoy sleeping only to complete the exam and be busy, not able to sleep as they promised. But anyone in high school would be motivated by that saying.

Lies are never good, they give a false security.

I dont think taking any recourse to falsehood is wise. It is better to tell the truth and face the consequences
