From Justine’s Blog:
[Quote] I fuck up. Everyone does. … But what is really important to me is that I won’t lie about it. I can forgive all manner of sins, but I can’t forgive lying. Lying errodes the very core of my trust in someone and if I don’t trust you then I don’t need to know you. It is as simple as that. Before lust, before friendship, before love there has to be trust or forget it. … I’m pretty open-minded and tolerant, try telling me the truth. The likelihood is that I will deal with it. Don’t ever fucking lie to me. [Quote]
Exactly.
Give me a quadruple-layer multicolored lie rather than the bald-faced truth. Anything is infinitely more interesting than honest truth.
That depends. While following the truthful path I have often found it difficult to always stay on the way. It’s not as easy as it sounds. While you may argue that one only has to say the truth, the awareness of the possible consequences sometimes makes it hard and ‘interesting’.
I have to admit I’d rather make someone unhappy while telling him the truth than let him live in a happy hello kitty world.
I think it’s lying which is way to easy and often done rashly. Of course a real good lie can be a piece of art, but - at least if it’s about relationships - I would feel like I’d lost against my own standards if I were to lie to someone.
