Yes it is very important to tell the truth but then there are times when it is good to lie. Most of the time it is not good to lie just cause you might've done something wrong or you stole something. But then there are times when maybe u might lie to save or help someone or something. But in my opinion I think that it is best not to lie because lieing alot of the time makes things a whole lot worse. When you lie to people sometimes they make take it peronsal or they might not be able to trust you anymore which trust is always something that you want to have.

Truth is often directly related to change.  The truth by definition shows us something that we were not aware of, were unsure of, or actually out-right denied before.  Not surprisingly, when this happens we have to re-evaluate what is important to us and what our responsibilities in any one situation are.  Simply put, truth means change and change is scary.....

It depends on how the truth is delivered.  If you are asked a direct question and omit details such as to give an impression opposite to the truth, then yes, it is a lie regardless of how much truth is in there.\n\nFor example, suppose you and your brother eat some of a cake that your mother was saving for later. Your mother asks "did you eat the cake?" and you reply "My brother ate the cake".\n\nThis is true, but implies you did not eat the cake.  Thus it is a lie.\n\nOn the other hand, you could answer "well, someone definitely ate the cake" and this would be an incomplete truth but not a lie. Someone did eat the cake, you just don't want to say who becuase it will get you into trouble.\n\nIncomplete truths aren't lies -- they require your friend to ask more explicit questions. However your friend might not be very happy if you avoid a complete answer -- and most intelligent people will recognize an evasion when they hear one.

Well you shouldn't be lying in the first place. It has been my experience that the truth alway's comes out. It is the nature of truth to come out and if you have to lie, be prepared when you least expect it, for the truth to come out.

That's a very astute quotation. It says that by keeping someone with a lie, you will hurt them more than if you were to lose them by setting them free with the truth.

It is best to tell the truth.  Not telling the truth can lead to a cascade of lies as you try to cover up your tracks.  While there may be a punishment in the short term, in the long run, you will have a lot more trust and leeway than if someone found out that what you said before was a lie.  They will be left wondering about everything you said and you will be unable to convince them even if you are telling the truth.

As honestly as possible.  If there were uncomfortable circumstances, then politely decline to answer. It's best NOT to lie, because lies can get found out.

People hate the truth, because it often hurts. The funny thing is, you need to balance how much a relationship means to you with your desire to tell the truth. You don't want to burn someone who means everything to you for something so trivial as truth.\n\nGood Luck!

because most people cant/ don't want to handle the truth. but there is a difference from being honest and just rude. so your going to have to find out when you need to shut your mouth and when to spice up the truth a little

it depends on what it is you think needs to be told, and how good of a friend it is.  Some people don't like sharing all of the secrets, you have to respect that.  don't push too hard to get them to spill the beans because you'll just end up pushing your friend away.  if they want to tell you, they will.

The truth is inside you, and inside the reality all around you.  Sometimes other people will say things that help you see it or realize it in a new way.  So listen to others, but listen to your internal self the most.
