Hey there. What do you think? Should we say the truth all the time,even though it hurts a lot? Or should we provide all those white lies in order to make someone feel better? The social contract accepts white lies...but isn`t it still lying to your friend? If you have any good examples...please share them.

Hai I think Sincerity is in many ways but in order to be a good friend you should not say the secret of any friend to others.If you do like that then your sincerity to your friend is lost.So I feel if you are a good friend please do not say your friend's secret to others.If you do like that your friend also would be sincere to you.

Well it hurts, white lies do really hurt to say them, but we say them to protect others from knowing a truth that is useless, that doesn't need to be known. And if you say the truth, something is gonna totally go wrong. at least for me every time i said the truth...it got bad, when i said a white lie, i said it well, and got away. I'm evil, i know, but a man(i'm gonna say in the brackets: human) has got to live.

We are people, lying to everyone and we lied to our turn, even if we like it or not recognize it. No matter what circumstances have led us to lie in what we lied or what we chose after lying. Mind and so ... In a relationship is just as in life, too much truth behind it sometimes leaves a lot of suffering and pain. People can not live without lying because lying is brilliant screen beneath which hides the truth less beautiful. No matter how paradoxical it sounds, we like lies and are willing to swallow because ... Well, some of them can be pleasurable.

I believe that as a tru friend, we should tell tha truth even if it will hurt our friend. It is better tell the truth than making them believe with all our lies. Telling the truth is a test if a friend is really real or not.

I think sincerity is very important in every relationship. I personally feel it's important to be truthful all the time. I think you can be truthful and yet at the time be tactful with what may need to be said. People respect those who are truthful and honest with them. It may hurt to tell the truth but in the end the person may feel appreciated enough that you were honest with them and trust you even more.
