Response to Misty's: Lying or telling the truth?

First, just wanted to say this is based on telling someone else a lie completely intentionally as opposed to just saying something false by accident. If everyone in the world told the truth to everyone and never lied, feelings would of course be hurt at times but it also might make people stronger over all to take in the truth and accept it for what it is rather than if they were lied to. My personal opinion is I would rather be told the truth all the time because eventually lies do get caught and I would be more upset to find out someone lied to me than just coming out and saying how they felt on a particular situation. I feel like lying is not necessary but because the truth can be hard to admit, people tend to fall away from it and lie or omit certain truth either because the challenge of telling the truth is to hard to bear or simply because people get caught up in their emotions and feel the need to protect themselves from the consequences of telling the truth. Also, most people don't really like lying, but instinctively they try to spare others' feelings from the absolute truth. Everyone can say "I'm not going to lie because i believe the truth is important, has value, and needs to be heard" but it's hard to know unless you are put in a situation where lying might be the easier choice (not necessarily the better choice).
