Choose silence or lie?

After watching "Coral Island of Youth", I can't help thinking about a question: If someone close to you asks you some sensitive questions, would you choose to remain silent or lie? The two characters in the movie took two ways to tell us the corresponding results:

1. Lie→Safety, lasting relationship.

After wandering to an isolated island, the actor and actress in the story, Little Richard and Little Emil, asked the pirate Patty Buton why he could not go to the other side of the island. Faced with two innocent and innocent children, Patty did not truthfully Telling the bloody scene over there, he did not choose to be silent, but told the two children that there were monsters there and warned them that they must not go there, or they would be eaten. Fortunately, the pirate did not choose to be silent. Otherwise, because of the children's nature, it is very possible to go to the other side of the island, and the safety is hard to say. In this "communication" process, the children's trust in pirates has also been strengthened.

2. Silence → contradiction, conflict.

After the pirate Patty died, the two protagonists gradually grew up on the new island, and the differences in male and female characteristics gradually appeared, especially the female protagonist, who began to have menstruation and various fantasies that men did not have. Putting it in a civilized society, it’s not a big problem if someone guides you a little bit, but they grew up alone on the island almost since childhood, and no one told them the relevant physiological knowledge, and the most troublesome thing is that the heroine may I think this is very difficult to say. I don't want to say anything to the actor. This makes the actor feel very uncomfortable because he knows her almost everything. Her silence gave him an impression of insincere, and thus, contradictions between each other arose. Fortunately, they are two people living on the island, and they still have the opportunity to meet to resolve their conflicts. In today's society, it is not terrible for two people to quarrel, but it is terrible not to speak.

Let me say, two people talk, don't stay silent for a long time. I would rather you tell lies that don't hurt others, maybe a relationship can last longer.
