I appreciate the clarity of your distinctions. Being surrounded daily by obfuscation and lies (eg the media, politicians, and narcissists) makes for difficulties.
Good nurses, or injecting doctors, successfully use distraction and play to reduce the likelihood of pain.
When presented by lies eg ‘This won’t hurt,’ or ‘(Ignore the facts, ignore what your eyes/senses/insights tell you) Because I say it it is the truth,’ it interests me that people do not, often in great numbers, question the lies being told to them.
Personally I find being lied to particularly upsetting, and believe I ought to have grown out of this as an old person!
I now think of myself as an aspiring Quaker, who in fact functions as a Parselmouth.
