Well for me i can leave with the truth no matter how painful it gets but I can never leave with the lie.... I am not perfect person and I may not always say the truth by not answering when asked. For me it's better to keep silent then answer with a lie. How about you my friend which does hurt you the most the truth of the lie?

You are definitely right. I also can not stand with lies. I hate someone who always lie and lie. No matter how hurt it could be then, but i think it is always be better to tell the truth than lie. I appreciate honest people so much,and i always try to be honest too.


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

Sometimes other lie for the reason that they are afraid to hurt the ones they love but did they not think that lying would hurt more than the truth..

Definitely the lie. I can't live with it too. Sometimes, I just can't go through the lie. If you can't tell me the truth. You just don't have to say anything at all. Don't even lie.


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

same here not telling and telling a lie is different thing just can stand with a lie though.... that is what I am very particular of....

I'd prefer to be told with a truth even though it hurts but its tough to know the truth than to be told with a lie.. Lies hurts much more than the truth!..


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

Yes my friend it does hurt like hell.. sad
Truth always prevail lie never succeed w00t

i agree.. i would rather hear the truth even if it hurts the most, than hear something that is completely a lie.. The truth will always be the truth, and it will always set us free.. so we will eventually learn how to accept it and live with it.. but a lie is always a lie.. In the long run, it will continue to haunt us and still hurt us..


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

yeah you are right no matter how hard we keep a lie it will always come out in the open so whats the point of lying better tell the truth at least it would set you free.... If that person cant handle the truth then that person doesn't really care for you at all....

 
5. myLot reputation of 98/100. mylesnarvaez (1620)   ranked 642 out of 37,595 in life   7 months ago

it's very difficult for me to lie, so as much as possible i try to avoid situations when i need to. thank goodness, i never had to.

no matter how painful it can be, it's much better to be truthful. lies can cost us a lot in the long run and it's hard to live with. i can live with the consequences of the truth. i don't think i could accept the consequences of a lie.

i don't want to be lied to, because it's an act of intent. even if that person did not intend for me to be hurt, he may have intented for me to not know the truth either. i'd rather face up to the truth, because at least i know what i'm facing at. with a lie, you wouldn't know...


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

well said my friend ... Just hurt now I guess cant say much but all I can say is you said it well... I am into this situation right now regarding this thing .... and I think she take what I asked her the wrong way.... I dont know where this one would lead us... I just dont know.... sad


myLot reputation of 98/100. mylesnarvaez (1620)   ranked 642 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

i don't know what you are up against... but suddenly i felt sad. before i knew it, the tears just flowed. i don't know why. and i don't even know you. i'm sorry if you are in a hot seat right now. i don't even know why i'm crying. maybe i'm feeling the sadness...

yes people may take it the wrong way, no matter what we say. some people would rather not know. they'd rather be kept in the dark than be hurt. because then they could pretend everything's ok... when it's not.

the truth and the lie can both hurt a person, albeit differently. but tell the truth anyway. it may not be the best thing to do... but it's the right thing to do.


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

It was her who lied to me ... I asked her why she lied to me but she took it differently.... I thought she trusted me but I guess I was wrong ... sorry to put you into my situation my friend...I guess you just feel me that i am so down thats why you have reacted that way....i just need someone to talk though and with this discussion at least I have you to voice it out with...now dont cry ok ....


myLot reputation of 98/100. mylesnarvaez (1620)   ranked 642 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

yes, mylot is that. at least here we can vent out feelings we would not be even able to say out loud.

i'm not really crying... just tears falling... there's a very slight difference i think... i just can't explain what it is... but you know...:) now i'm smiling... but i still feel sad.

anyways, if you need a friend to chat with (pm/ym), i'm here for the duration. and it's an honest offer. and before you wonder why i'm doing this, let me just say... another mylotter did the same thing to me during a time i needed someone badly. i'm just... paying it forward.:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

Thanks a lot for the offer my friend I will take that offer when I cant handle things but for now let me say I am happy to have found a friend in you.. I am glad to be here at mylot, and your one of those that I am thankful about.....


myLot reputation of 98/100. mylesnarvaez (1620)   ranked 642 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

myLot reputation of 98/100. mylesnarvaez (1620)   ranked 642 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

6. myLot reputation of 96/100. modstar (4957)   ranked 1,965 out of 37,595 in life   7 months ago

This is a difficult one. If you're not strict with answers lol!, then i think both of them hurts. The truth hurts most if it is something unpleasant or something that we didn't expect to be true. Like for example, the truth might hurt if we have found out that our girlfriend was a man before. lol! Just an example ok? I seriously think that any truth that isn't told is considered a lie. What do you think?


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

well i wont make this one hard for you my friend.... truth is good lie is bad right so its clear that lie hurts lol well you are right about everything you say.....and thanks for you funny sample w00trasp

 
7. myLot reputation of 85/100. commanderxo (430)   ranked 4,030 out of 37,595 in life   7 months ago

Like you, I'm more partial to hearing the truth, even if it may hurt a little.
"Honesty is the best policy", has always been my slogan.
I would be more upset by a lie, than the truth.

Good question.
Cheers;
cdrxo


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

Thanks for the complement my friend... You know you are one of my friends here at mylot who always respond to my discussions and not hearing from you in a day would somehow make me missed some of my friends here.... thanks for being here my friend and by the way i am just telling the truthw00thave a good day.


myLot reputation of 85/100. commanderxo (430)   ranked 4,030 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

That YOU for those kind words.
Truthfully, it's always a pleasure.
Friends ARE what the world needs more of, and that's no lie either.

Have yourself a great day my friend.
Cheers;
cdrxo


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

yeah indeed friends and friends we shall be...
have a good day too my friendthumbup


myLot reputation of 85/100. commanderxo (430)   ranked 4,030 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

Here's a saying, my friend, which you may wish to keep with you always.

Do not guilt yourself about the past, and do not worry about the future...for these are merely foolish notions. Think only of today, for it is a gift.

That is why it is called, the present.

Have a good one.
Cheers;
cdrxo

Hi There,
Actually both can hurt pretty bad at times.
It is like what people say;"What you don't know, don't hurt."
Problem is when you find out. Then you feel double hurt.
As long as you don't know, there is nothing wrong.
I have been hurt in life with lies. But, I have been hurt with the truth too.
Either way it hurts.
I cannot say one hurt less than the other.
Personally I try to be honest at all times. But that is because when I lie I forget what I have said. So I rather say the truth. lol
I can understand a little white lie, like Santa Claus. But a lie should not be able to hurt someone. I have lied before telling a person she looks great, when accually I did not like how she looked. But, when someone asks you, and you don't know the person very well. Then I try to leave them in there opinion. I try to respect there choice so to speak. When it is a girl friend and she asked me, I will tell her the truth, because I know her. And when I ask I would want to know the truth too.
So, there are different kinds of lies and truths. Know what I mean?
Let's not forget, nobody is perfect. That is why we have forgiveness.
That is why we can talk to each other, to solve whatever is wrong.
We all make mistakes.

Take care, wishing you all the best Dan. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

Thanks Joe, and thanks for taking time to explain the different side of lying lol yeah I know all this actually I was not hurt that much about the lie but the fact that I am not that worthy enough of trust that she has to lie to me before. but dont worry everything is ok now. We have talk already and everything back to normal just cant let it pass after a day. We asked our forgiveness to each other and now we are ok.... thanks again Joe. have a good day.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2131)   ranked 395 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

I am very happy to see everything is okay again. happy
That is the basic's of a relationship. Communication.

Take care Dan, have a nice day.

 
9. myLot reputation of 74/100. sayh123 (114)   ranked 19,760 out of 37,595 in life   7 months ago

Well in my opinion both of that situation are the same thing to hurts.


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

yeah it does hurt us in both ways my friend .... w00t

 
10. myLot reputation of 37/100. tzaddi (333)   ranked 10,528 out of 37,595 in life   7 months ago

well i think that a lie hurts more than the truth. some truths are meant to be painful, that's why some of us keep it as a secret. but lies, are more painful, because they are painful and they are not true. so you feel double the pain when somebody lies. but you know. there's a truth because there's a lie. the balance of nature. the yin and yang. like, there's no good guy if there's no bad guy. it's hard to explain but i hope you get my point. anyways happy earning!


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (708)   ranked 837 out of 37,595 in life  7 months ago

yeah I understood perfectly what you say balance of being human where there is happiness there is sadness ..... same goes with truth and lie....
