Sometime saying the true could really hurt people in a way that might not be neccesary, or you can be very happy by not knowing the true.

If you are talking about little "white lies" that smooth over situations or make people feel good, with no harm done, then I see nothing wrong with a little untruth on occasion. \n\nFor example: My mother-in-law once dyed her hair a deep burgundy color and it looked awful at first, until it lightened, but when she looked at me with anxious eyes and said, "What do you think," I never missed a beat. "It's amazing! Whatever made you decide to do it? It really does things to you!" I wasn't exactly lying. SHE chose to interpret it as a positive reaction. \n\nHowever, the person who told me that the new skirt I had just bought made my butt look two axe handles wide, was being unnecessarily truthful, in my opinion!

When without misleading someone too much they are prevented from getting hurt by a lie. Sometimes though honesty is the best policy. It depends on the person/situation.

YES I THINK SO BECAUSE HERE YOU CAN FIND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THINGS GOING ON IN THERE LIVES AND SOMETIMES THEY CAN EXPRESS THERE FEELINGS HERE AND KNOW THAT THERE IS  SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT IS IN THERE SHOES

Hurting some of the best people I have ever met. Its not a regret as such because I have learnt from it, but its still not nice to know that some one else has been upset by you for doing no wrong.

Very true. People may try to dissuade you from reaching your goal as they have their own opinion on things. If you try to follow the advice of others, you may not be happy. Follow your heart, do what is right and you will achieve true happiness.

I usually do that with my best friends, and if I don't, they'd think I got mad with them. Also I'd think there's something wrong if they don't say that to me. we say that frankly, and we feel happy to hear that. however, it is not acceptable to be told to some one who doesn't have strong relationship with you.

There is truth in that statement, but it is a dangerous one.  He who sins much, learns much, but suffers much.  One should always count the cost.

Getting hurt is part of life. Don't let fear keep you from something that may be REALLY great.

Sounds like you are lying, otherwise you would know it is possible.

Something to talk about but not to be taken seriously

Some psychologists believe that pathological liars aren't able to immediately distinguish between what is and isn't true-- they often believe everything they say.  In this case, "truth" becomes relative, and a moot point.

You need to not be concerned with what people think.

If you tell the truth about something and it offends someone it is not your fault. If someone chooses to take offense to the truth they have the problem.

They do that because they are afraid of hearing about things that go against what they believe in.

Crazy people don't know that they are crazy.  They also don't know that they are wrong.

People really don't know what they think they do. THey believe what they are told, which is lies. We're getting all kinds of stories being told, it's tough to tell what is true.
