Should We Choose Honesty or Kindness?

Is it better to be honest or to be kind?

I'm sure most of us value both honesty and kindness, but in real life they don't always line up. Should you tell the truth even if it might hurt someone? Or, should you spare their feelings by withholding the truth?

This meetup is a casual, open discussion focused on exploring these questions together in a relaxed cafe setting. There are no right answers, no debates to win, and no philosophy background required. All that's necessary is an openness to consider other viewpoints and a respectful attitude,

Here are some questions to think about:
1. Have you ever chosen kindness instead of honesty? Why?
2. Have you ever been honest but later wished you hadn't been?
3. Is honesty always a good thing? Is kindness always a good thing?
4. Do people have a right to know the truth?
5. Would you rather be known as honest or kind?
