A popular adage warns us to beware of those who claim to be imbued with a truth-telling gene Only. What is your personal philosophy about telling the truth and telling lies? In fact, when was the last time you ever told a lie; to who, and for what? Are you lieing about your lies right on this thread?
Which do you consider a nobler ideal: Truth or Lies?

Ever been hurt by lies or truth? Please feel free to share with us.

Lies are pointless.

Unless they are comedic lies, like giving the excuse that you were chased by a yeti to another city and had to take the bus back...and this is why you were late to work.

Or when you told guests that what they were eating was "beef".

IDK how functional it is to live life worrying about who is lying - me-? my existence is pretty much tracked on the computer because of my work...

hurt by lies or truth? lies yes. truth no - in the short run maybe a little disappointed - but have always appreciated it in the long run - so hurt? no.

I'm sure we have all told lies in our life time. I can't remember the last lie I told (and that is the truth lol) I reached a point in life (a while back) where I don't see the point of lying. I would rather someone tell me the truth. I may not like what is said but I can respect the honesty. I do the same to others.

^this is how I was raised & still live! Honest to the point that I can be rather blunt & would make a crappy car salesperson! My Daddy was called many names, but never a lier!

Yes I agree that "lies are pointless" on the surface, but it seems to be an unwritten, but acceptable rule in politics, international trade, and even in religion (I read in the "holy book" of one of the world's major religions that it is recommended and noble to lie to "infidels" or 'unbelievers". Taking these into consideration would you still maintain that 'lies are pointless"?

Thanks for sharing your noble ideal. But tell me, assuming that the sword of damocles is hanging over your head and only a little lie can set you free and possibly bring promotion. What choice?
