Japanese are so immature that they invented a new way of describing lying but pretending is not a bad thing but a good thing instead.
It’s not lying is honne/tatemae
Honne means true feeling
Tatemae means facade
It’s a very particular thing about Japanese culture where Japanese people will say something that is not true despite the fact that they know the truth and they refuse to say the truth, usually by doing so they get some material gain.
Isn’t culture interesting.
