In real life, truth is not always God. Rather, it may sometimes send you to God! But a lie spoken tactfully may prove beneficial as we have seen in this story, though not all the time. People easily believe a lie when it looks like a truth to them.

We must know what ‘actually’ makes us happy rather than what ‘should’ make us happy. The only way to know the truth is to experiment with what is supposed to bring us happiness and then see the results on ourselves.
