Question for those of you out there (with children) that do the whole Santa Claus thing at Christmas. Do you tell your child Santa Claus isn't real, or do you wait for them realize it themselves? If you tell them, do you wait until they reach a certain age?
The reason I ask is because I've witnessed that this same premise relates to telling any hard truths to uninformed/ misinformed people that have gone their whole lives believing something that's objectively untrue. Is it best for them to figure it out for themselves and in their own time? What if that never happens? Is there not an inherent responsibility to those of us that do know to share it with those that don't?
Imagine you met a young adult that still believes in Santa Claus. Is it even Right to let them keep believing that into adulthood (without saying anything)?
I understand I'm unable to "make" anyone change, but maybe they'd be willing to change if presented with new (previously unknown) information (based in truth). How do you know if you don't at least try, right? No regrets.
(I'd appreciate feedback from all the fellow Truth-tellers out there)!
