When i'm considering lying, or telling the truth, I think about what will hurt them more. If the truth is horrible then i might lie, or if after they found out i lied, it would hurt them more than the truth would have, i'd tell the truth. I think it all depends on who you are and who/what it's about.
If you leave parts out of the truth, I think it's being dishonest, but not outright lying.
I have lied, everybody has. I don't know anyone who has never told a lie to get out of something, or to make their freind feel better. I think it's in our nature and enviroment to lie.
No one is perfect. We're all human. We lie. And that's the truth.
Maybe so, but I would have felt better if you'd lied about it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe question is: how can you really know what will hurt somebody more? Sure, in some instances it's obvious -- "Do you think Megan Fox would go out with me?" -- but what about those more complicated situations, or ones that might read up their ugly heads farther down the line, and turn out to have had complications you didn't know about?
We all have lied. I agree. but yeah, the question is black and white, lie or don't. And then see what happens. That's all i can say. You can only find out one outcome.
