To Lie or Not To Lie.....

I was thinking about this topic over the weekend.. If a person covers up or lies to you for your sake (because they don't want to hurt your feelings) and somehow you find out... how should you feel? Is it supposed to hurt less?

Am not talking about those little white lies to answering questions such as.. do i look like i put on weight?(in my case I'd be quite happy if you say yes!) ... or (GF to BF) do you think she's pretty?.. well u get what i mean...

How far would you conceal the truth to avoid hurting someone.. is it because you really believe the truth is more hurtful or are you just afraid of the consequences for being the bearer of bad news?

I guess circumstances forces us to make decisions which we believe is best at that particular moment. Sometimes you just cross your fingers and hope they never find out or if they do, they would be very understanding about it. But I feel, whatever it is.. one thing is put at great risk. TRUST. Difficult to earn but so easy to loose. It is a key ingredient in any relationship, between lovers or friends or family or even business.

Somehow we have to go through very difficult circumstances at some point of our lives.. May you make the wisest decisions :-)
