Imagine this situation. One of your friends is recovering from a health problem. You have just read an article (or watched a video, or found a website) that is related to your friend's issue. You believe that sharing such information might be useful. But, when you enthusiastically mention it, your friend states that they are not interested. How does such answer make you feel? They were sincere - all right. Now switch roles: you are the convalescent and your friend suggests an article (a video or a website) they think might benefit your health, but you are not interested. How do you answer? Is a truthful answer "always" the best? Even if you are hurting someone who meant well, a friend who was only trying to help? Or would you rather simply thank them (although you won't follow their suggestion?)
