Do SuperME tell lies so as not to hurt?

How can SuperME tell the truth without hurting people?  Do SuperME tell lies so as not to hurt?

A SuperME, as defined in SuperME Unleashed by Dr. Vivian Passion Koh, does not lie to avoid hurting others — but also doesn’t weaponize truth. The SuperME way is truth with Purpose, Love, and Gratitude (PLG).

Here’s how:

1. Purpose: Why Are You Telling This Truth?

A SuperME doesn’t speak to prove, shame, or control.

Instead, they ask:

“Is this truth shared to uplift, heal or realign…

or is it to defend, attack or escape?”

Purpose shapes the tone. A harsh truth shared without purpose becomes a sword. But with purpose, it becomes a bridge.


2. Love: How Can I Deliver This With Compassion?

Love is not silence — it is sensitivity. A SuperME shares difficult truths by:

Listening first

Speaking gently and with care

Acknowledging emotions (theirs and yours)

Example:

Instead of “You’re not pulling your weight,”

say: “I care about our shared goals, and I noticed you’ve been quieter lately. Is something going on?”

A SuperME tells the truth while protecting dignity.


3. Gratitude: Can I Honour Their Journey While Being Honest?

Gratitude brings humility. You can say:

“Thank you for trusting me. This is hard to say, but I care enough to be honest.”

Even if the truth hurts, when delivered with presence and appreciation, people receive it more openly.


Do SuperME Lie to Protect Feelings?

No — but they don’t confuse silence with kindness either.


A SuperME doesn’t lie.

They time the truth, tune the tone, and tailor the message

all from a place of Purpose, Love, and Gratitude.


Summary:

Tell the truth when it serves healing or alignment.

Avoid truth-telling that is self-serving, unprocessed or reactive.

Never lie to manipulate or avoid conflict — that’s Survival-Me or Protector-Me behaviour.


Instead, rise to your SuperME:

“Speak truth, but wrap it in love, deliver it with purpose, and end it with gratitude.”

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
