En,I think whether we should tell the truth or tell a lie all depend on what thing it is.But you said that is a matter definitely hurt someone,it depends on what kind of person hi or she is,if he or she can won't mind that thing,I will tell the truth,on the contrary,I will tell a lie which can make he or she feel better. Of course it is really a very difficult choice,or even sometimes a moral dilemma,but we should do that,because we have no choice.

i prefer say the truth , but sometime force to tell lie and i hate to tell lie and hate people telling lie to me , due to not telling lie sometime i will hurt someone even know i will hurt them , but i still need to tell them the truth, example: if she cooked some food which i feel not nice i will just answer not really good, if i tell lie she/he won't improving don't you think so?? if nice i will also said nice. how about you? what lie you said? and when i tell lie ,once you start lie to someone, you need to recover your lie and you will tell more lies.. this is one of the reason i don't do that.

I would have to say it would depend on the situation. If it involves something that they have done like stealing I am afraid I would have to tell the truth on them. If it was a small thing that they had done I probably would tell a lie for them. As I said it would depend on the situation and how serious the situation was.

I would prefer to tell the truth, it might hurt that person at that moment, but if he comes to know about the truth from a different source, it will be very difficult to win back his trust next time. As I know truth hurts, but the wounds of truth heal faster and completely. If anyone close to you comes to know that you had previously told a lie, it is going to be a very difficult situation to tackle. Please be truthful to your close ones. If they are close to you then they will surely understand and the the bond of trust will surely become more strong. Hope my response was of help to you. Have a nice day.

I would better say or tell the truth to my friend becuase he is my friend and he knows everything about me and if he doesn't then he should know about me more and can judge me better because am like that only and he should understand that as soon as possible and get to know me better and don't think that i am fake or something and it'll be good for me too.
