"The Truth Hurts".

I agree that it definitely hurts more to be lied to. Yes, the truth can hurt sometimes for sure - there are some things in life that maybe you don't feel like you want to know. But lies are almost impossible to keep going forever, I think you are bound to find out the truth eventually. So it is much better to know the truth in the first place and be able to deal with whatever consequences there are to that. Also, if someone always tells you the truth then you know that they have earned your trust and respect, which is far better than being a dishonest liar.

I would rather truth for sure but most people don't want to tell me this thinking it would hurt me well I am a person that doesn't like waiting I'd rather get hurt sooner than later truth does hurt, but with acceptance, it will bring clarity

I'm with you. Give me the truth regardless. It will always hurt me less. WE must be brave enough to speak the truth even when others don't really want to hear it. Sure it might cause drama, but the learning comes along for the ride as well.

hello, Yes, I agree to you. Sometimes you rather want to hear the truth than to be lied by someone because in my experience it is more hurtful than not revealing anything from you. right? It will always be better to hear what is the truth than hearing it to others.

Depend on situation, if lying can save people soul, I don't mind lied even some people then hate me.Honest is very important and lie is identic with wrong, but sometime by watch deeper you can see that sometime you need wise to decide will be honest or not, but never abuse the word that "sometime lie is allowed"

Lie is always bad.it has been said that bad truth is better then gud lie.just think you don.t want to say truth bcoz it will hurt then why don.t u understand that it will more hurt when the truth will be known by other source except you.where will be then trust of ur friend on you.if u say truth then it may take time to rebuild trust and relation but i think you may come out of it.you have to tell truth and ask for forgiveness and promise that it won.t be repeated again.

Hi thetis, The truth may not be convenient but it shall set one free. Learning the truth should the guiding principles of anyone who wishes for knowledge and enlightenment. Sure, there are things that go against our expectations and beliefs but knowing what is the real score could save one a lot of trouble in the future. Admitting it and being guided by the light of truth helps one's steps from stumbling on the pitfalls on the path carved by deceit and falsehood. Being guided is also being free, free from fear, from the imprisonment of foolish ignorance.

truly yes, the truth hurts.... this often be heard and seen on the debate forum topics such as "RELIGION" because the more the situations become positively true, the more people will argue and comment for a negative reply....

We're on the same track, it hurts more if what I'm in is just a lie. i 'd rather be hurt and knows the truth. :)

Truth hurts, but lies are wrong and cowardly. If one really loves someone, how can they be so selfish as to lie about their actions just to spare their own hide? That's not love, that's raw selfishness. Let's use the example or a relationship. A man and a woman have been together for three years, and the woman thinks all is great. However the man has been having an affair. Now she suspects something. The man can either just tell the straight truth or he can lie and let her find out later that she was betrayed AND willingly deceived. Which will do more damage? The truth hurts, but it will spare even more pain later. Plus it will keep the woman from wasting more of her life with the cheater. I am well aware that the truth will hurt and sting. The selfish actions we take will come back to hurt others. I do not want to be misled with lies, for if I am I could make stupid decisions based on misinformation. That could come back to hurt a lot of people. Just speak the hard truth and make one wound. Don't lie and start a chain reaction that will come back to burn everybody. Besides, once someone has lied, how can you trust them ever again? They could lie about their faithfulness, they could about how they spent the money, the could lie about where they were all night long.

I hate being lied to. When I find out someone lied, I get upset. I view it as a huge disrespect. The phrase "The truth hurts," is usually used as a thinly veiled excuse to say something that is less then kind or tactful.

hey there, i prefer to be told about the truth rather than lies. the lies hurt me more than the truth though. no matter how hurtful the truth may be but you just have to accept it by the way
