If you are traveling and stay for the night at an old lady’s home, and she cooks dinner for you as if you were his grandson but the dinner is awful. Do you tell her the cold truth that it’s awful? Is truthfulness always desirable at all costs?

- egman_ekki 5y agoIf your kid draws a picture for you, do you tell them it's terrible?
- notatoad 5y agoThat's not honesty, that's just being an asshole. If a kid draws a picture and has obviously put some effort into it and is proud of it, I'm gonna be impressed and tell them so. If they obviously haven't tried very hard and I'm being called upon to judge it, i'd say it didn't look like they tried very hard. And kids usually respond well to that sort of criticism. But for kid's art to be objectively terrible, I don't even know what that could mean.
