The random quotation of the day on the side panel of my blog today said, "The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end". - Harriet Beecher Stone
I for one, could not agree more. I don't know what it is with me and the truth, but it is something that I hold sacred. If I do nothing else with my friends whom I hold dear, it is that I try to be as honest as I possibly can be. Sometimes to a fault, my friends will tell you. Mostly because I have a heck of a guilty conscience, plus my facial expressions tell all my truths. I would be awful at poker, lol!
That being said, I expect it in return from my friends, the good and the bad. I don't want you to tell me what you think I want to hear, I want you to tell me the truth, no matter what. Just break it down...
It is the least we can do to show one another respect, right? Plus when trust is lost in a friendship or relationship, it's so hard to fully get it back. I think I would rather be hurt than be lied to, to be honest. There's just no reason for it. Or is there? Is there a time when it's ok to lie?
Are white lies ok? Perhaps.
If it will save someone from being really hurt, maybe it's ok then?
What about lies of omission? You know, you didn't outright tell a lie, but you omitted the real truth from your story. Is that ok?
I don't know where to draw the line, so I just work under the truth at all times premise. Well I try really hard at it anyway. Makes my life a whole lot easier in my opinion. And I hope my friends will always love and respect me enough to treat me the same way.

i dont always want the damn truth
if it tell u i can pull W ill Smith
u best say
"yeah girl
go 'head"
lol
but truthfulness is mostly a good look
I think the truth is always good if its your own personal truth. Things that are related directily to yourself. Some people feel it necessary to tell other people's truth when it is really no ones business. Like if someone comes and ask you something personal about a friend that may not be a close friend but just a freind. Some people are too honest with other people truths.
i just tell the truth - fo me it is easier that way
and do u really surf or are u fronting - lol
rawdawg: i am so NOT a fan of water sports...lol! So yes, that surfboard was just a prop:)
I try, and most times speak the truth because i sometimes can't lie straight, like for instance i got a phone call, they asked for Miz, i said, "Miz is not here...who's calling", once they told me, i said, "I'm sorry Lady, i'm here, i just didn't want to talk to someone else." She laughed and said, "are you trying to avoid someone?" I said, "Yes i am, an i apologize." I couldn't even get through 2 seconds of the lie before i gave in.
