Jordan Peterson: White lies, black truths and why being truthful is the single most important thing in life

in philosophy •  8 years ago 

In my new excerpt from Jordan Peterson's talk, I have selected the part when Jordan talks about the need for white lies. But the most important thing is, that he explains how people hurt others with truth and how they say "I am moral, I just say the truth" but their real deep motivation is to hurt. I never could phrase this and it is great that Jordan has done that for me. Please, tell the truth, but only in a way which helps and does not impede the development of others. It so easy to break people with truth but than it is not the real truth. See the video here, only 4 minutes: YouTube
