- Tis better to be "nice" or "polite" in relationships than honest, even if the "nice lies" will do harm to others.
- Tis better to pretend peace and unity, than to ask questions, in an effort to work towards authentic peace and unity.
- Shhhh, can't talk about problems or YOU will become the PROBLEM.
- Love protects, so hide all "dirty laundry" even though doing so may cause more harm, or it's betrayal.
- Outward appearances and what other people think or say about you is more important than inner-peace and what is actually true. And the less these people know you, the more you should care about their opinions.
- Children's behavior or their accomplishments are more important than how they actually feel about themselves.
Breaking them is hard, but recommended for freedom and peace. Proceed with caution, but do proceed.
