Trane Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 A good friend reiterated this to me recently after breaking up with his girlfriend. He said the truth is never easy and sometimes extremely hard to deal with, but it will indeed set you free. Anyone else believe this? 2
TouchedByViolet Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Sometimes the simplest things, like accepting the truth, are the hardest to do. Truth can be awful. Given time yes it can set you free, but in the moment you can feel trapped, stuck and hopeless. 1
todreaminblue Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 The truth does set you free, if honesty is used first its easier to make sure the person you are with is also honest, i would prefer truth to deceit every time, i think you can be truthful without being hurtful though i think truth can be delivered with respect and thought for the other person without being blunt and callously emotionless to another's emotions.... treat others how you want to be treated......with truth ....it is best dealt softly with empathy and understanding of anothers feelings..and then it sets both free without misgiving and without hurt hearts...deb
Dork Vader Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I have to agree with him. But it's easier said then done. Love makes you crazy.. Love makes you stupid and it can even make you irrational. It should not but it can.
ktya Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 The truth sets you free because you don't have to cover for lies. Girls or guys like hearing the truth also because it means they don't have to decipher what your saying. I'm seeing like 9 girls and when I'm dating someone new I do let them know I'm seeing other people and if they ask I tell them 9 like whatever. Sometimes they ask how many I'm having sex with and I give them the honest answer. Amazingly I've never had a single one go eww and reject me. One refused to have sex with me but kept seeing me but wanted to be the only one so I nexted her (I try before I buy, thank you) . All the rest jumped between the sheets. The advantage of telling the truth in my case is when I say I'm busy for the night they don't ask and just double down and try harder to get my time. Because they know what I'm up to they sometimes ask if I was with another girl and I tell them if I was. Sometimes they ask which one I will tell them. This way when I say no I just had a quiet night at home with a buddy they beleive me. They know I will tell them the truth even if it isn't what they want to hear. A girl I'm seeing (multi dating hoes both ways) told me about getting drunk and screwing some guy in a hotel after the bar. I respected that she didn't keep it from me. Truth is good. I think people who lie and cover up and twist just dig their own grave. Eventually the person will figure it out and the lie hurts more than the truth it's trying to cover up.

Many wars have been fought, marriages dissolved, and bitter, physical fights have been had over definitions of "truth"
