Harmless Lie, Lifetime of Memories
Someone just got back from Tokyo, Japan. He went to the famous car gathering event in Tokyo. It is an open-air carpark where car enthusiast would gather to show off their cars and talk about cars. My friend was really excited about this event. He showed me his trip's highlights, he saw the car which is replicated from the Fast & Furious movie franchise.
I did not say anything when I saw the picture, I just asked him what other cars he saw? He mentioned a few more cars and I cannot stop noticing his excitement and energy from the event. I decided not to comment further about the car that he saw.
The "Fast & Furious" car that he took is not the same car model featured in the movie. In the movie, that car has 2 doors and the one that my friend saw has 4 doors. The 4 doors' performance is nowhere near the 2 door's performance. The paint job, stickers and body kit did a good job to replicate the look.
My friend had spent a lot of effort and money to plan for this Japan trip. Whom am I to burst his bubble? If he believes what he saw, I should bite my tongue. It is a harmless lie, and my friend will have a lifetime of memories from this event. I am sure he will be telling it to his grandchildren.
Not everything has to be straight and accurate. I do not mind a little bit of lie in life? As long as it brings calm and happiness.
