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.”

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment.
