Hmmmm....I think with only 2 choices I'd choose goodness because a good person is truthful & I'd get both!!!

Truth and Goodness, two different things.Truth can be digested common sense and conscience. But kindness is about the benefits of doing things. Truth is domain logic, but good deeds domain

Great thoughts, I also agree, because those two words look alike but differ greatly, because it could be something good but something is wrong it must be true right, it is true that most people who do good in accordance with the actual truth. Nice!

Limited sense is not enough for accommodate the Creator. Moreover, limited word that would not be able to explain the Creator.

Hi kendedes!
This one is a difficult question but let me just give my views.
Truth and goodness often come together or the one being the result of the other. For me I'll prefer truth. The reason is that if we don't know what truth is then how can we justify things whether we do is good or not. Goodness is an action I believe and is the result of knowing the truth. You mentioned that truth can be digested common sense and conscience so how can we do acts of kindness without the conviction. I guess we won't be able to balance things between good and bad if without the knowledge of truth.
Have a nice day!

Thats a hard one to answer. I would rather a person show me goodness and kindness, but that is a rare characteristic anymore. But if a person is not going to be good to me, I'd rather they be honest with me. Don't lie to me and tell me how great you're going to treat me just don't say anything at all.
