Honesty Over Everything: Have I Ever Told a Half-Truth?

Let’s dive into a tricky little corner of human interaction today: the half-truth. Specifically, the kind whispered with the intention of protecting someone we care about. It’s a tempting notion, isn’t it? To soften a blow, to shield a loved one from pain. But if I’m being completely honest (and that’s always my goal!), I can’t actually recall a time I’ve consciously chosen that path.
