Why we all hate Larry Vaughn: the asshole Mayor of Amity in ‘Jaws’
(or why withholding is never really a kindness to someone else)

Jan 22, 2022
A few months ago I sat myself down on a Saturday evening to rewatch Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic ‘Jaws’ on Blu-Ray again, just to remind myself what an incredible piece of storytelling it is.
/.../
In retrospect, my friend’s assertion that kind lies were better than harsh truths, probably should have been a red flag, because — having now had the truth revealed to me about who they really are — I feel as if I’ll be recovering from their withholding for a very long time.
It’s impossible to know how the truths that we choose to hide from people will ultimately affect them, just as it’s impossible to ever fully know the inner workings of anyone else’s mind and heart. But before we choose to withhold, curate or edit the unvarnished truth, it’s a good practice to pause and ask ourselves — honestly — who it is that we’re really trying to protect.
