Picture the following:
So you have a gift or two. You for instance know things about yourself or others that goes beyond what people usually know.
People come to you for advise, and then there's this situation where someone asks for your help, but what you feel is not what you would like to feel.
Example:
Someone has lost his child, and is in sorrow because of it. This person tells you that it seeks for a way to communicate with its lost child. They didn't have a good relationship and it wonders if the child knew it was being loved.
Lets say, that when you try to communicate with the child you get negative emotions and that the answer is no.
You'll get into the dillema that at one hand, you want to help the person who's seeking your help, but at the other hand, you know that telling the truth will most likely devastating.
How will you cope with this?
There are a few standard answers, but if you have a more refined answer, please give it.
A few standard answers would be:
1. I would just tell it. Hey, they came for my help right?
2. In this case, I would rather lie
3. I would try to avoid answering at all by giving different information.
4. I would give so many answers that contradict each other that I wouldn't be lying, yet not have to tell the truth either.
