i think it would be impossible to "always" tell the truth xx

I always strive to tell the truth most of the time. There will be times that the truth could get someone killed, there is no doubt that I would do whatever necessary it is to save them. But just to save someones feelings, usually not...but I've been told to be "nice."

Depends much on the subject of the so called truth, i can tell it if its worth all the efforts doing it.

it depends realy whether you love the perosn deeply enough. But my policy is when in doubt, tell the truh.

I guess the main thing that it depended on is if a lie would hurt more than the truth. I don't like lying but if it was to protect someone feelings, and if that person wouldn't get hurt by the lie you are telling them, then I would lie to spare their feelings. But if they needed to learn the lesson that the truth will teach them, I would have to tell them and hope that they would forgive me for hurting their feelings.

yes it is a difficult choice to make knowing that it could benefit them in the long run but will hurt them at the time x
