Is it ok to be 100 percent honest all the time? If not, when is it ok. I have come to the conclusion that you must always be honest. There are only times when you should withhold to spare the other but never to lie. That includes white lies. For childrens games such as the bunny, the fairy, and the jolly guy yeah maybe. Thats make belive. There should always be magic. But for relationships there should always be truth.
The truth hurts. It can cut with a precision blade. I know this from experience. I also know that the not hearing the trusth can hurt. Even more important not accepting the thruth can be even more painful in the long run. Lies hurt those who tell them and those who receive them. Remember the boy and the wolf?
In every relationship you can not be truly open unless you are acknowledging the truth. This includes the relationship you have with yourself. Harsh but true.
