my own humble opinion, some truth are better kept secret.....

So you would better tell a lie then...but remember no one can keep a smoke even if how tight you keep hold of it..

I would rather tell the truth...its better I take off d load from my shoulder...d truth would always set us free

well, i personally don't tell lies, and that is why iam always careful with my dealings. Notwithstanding, of what we call "truth" and how it affect those concern

staying silent is always an option for me

I deeply dislike lying, I dont have the moral compass or memory for it,,,,lol

I do believe in compassion though, I can find the compassionate way to speak truth over the hurtful or insulting way and will usually try to do so

If yu've Done a Deed dat yu Consider Wrong, then yu've Already Hurt them; lying will Add 2 d Hurt, cos the Truth will Surely Come Out some day

Exactly what I say!

Maybe if your truth is going to offend, you could try changing the way you see things...(seems like you could use to do that)
If a woman is asking you if her clothes make her look fat...then she's not even aware that she looks fat at all. Perhaps that is because she's not fat enough for it to be that obvious of a problem. Maybe you should change your perception of what is fat. Unless of course you have a perfect fat ratio yourself, maybe you shouldn't even be thinking she's fat. Try focusing on what she is wonderful for instead. No, we don't want you to tell us we are fat if we ask...we're hoping you won't see that, and that you would see beauty instead because that's what real love does. If you thought of things this way, you wouldn't have to lie.
