I understand this conundrum.
I will say that the idea of free will can inform how to proceed. Respecting the free will of others can be a difficult aspect of compassion. Another idea is that though you may think you know the truth, there are no absolutes. Softening this aspect of perception will help to provide guidance and openness. Even when the truth is so obvious, if one approaches it with detachment from control and openness to the idea that information evolves as it grows and widens to larger vistas, how to express it changes.
I would not be an advocate of lying to save someone’s feelings. I wouldn’t compromise my own integrity that way. But I stay mindful of my own fallibility and the idea that others must find their own way.
