15. “Perhaps the best illustration of what can happen when someone is too truthful can be seen in the classic 1997 movie Liar Liar, in which comedian Jim Carrey stars as a successful, fast-talking workaholic attorney who builds his career as a habitual liar. He constantly promises his young son that he’ll be with him, yet he always bails at the last minute, even when it comes time for his son’s birthday party. The son makes a magical birthday wish that for one full day his father would not be able to tell a lie. The boy’s birthday wish comes true, and from then on, Carrey’s character can only tell the truth. Everything he does, including admitting that it was he who passed gas on a crowded elevator, lets everyone know exactly what he’s thinking. He even tells a new neighbor the reason everyone likes her is because of her large breasts. He tells one coworker that her hair looks awful, another that he’s too fat, and another one that she’s a slut. He even tells a woman he sleeps with that he had better lovers in the past. While the film is hilarious, it would not be funny or prudent in real life to admit to everyone exactly what you think of them. You would constantly be insulting and hurting everyone’s feelings, hurting your reputation, and, most likely, damaging your own best interests.” – Lillian Glass Ph.D
