It seems we are right to draw a distinction between selfish and white lies: they have very different effects on the quality of relationships – and, more generally, on community cohesion. In fact, white lies might actually be beneficial in smoothing over potential misunderstandings that would otherwise rock the community boat by causing rifts between some of its members.

Many people have died as a result of road rage. Nobody to my knowledge has ever died of road joy. The tactic Jesus used to prevent the stoning was depriving the crowd of a violent model and replacing it with a nonviolent model. Instead of a violent contagion taking hold, a nonviolent contagion happened instead. The first person dropped their stone. Then, one by one, the rest followed. Cycle 1, mimetic violence, was transformed into Cycle 2, a positive mimetic process. Both depended on a model.
