Beautiful Lies

Sometimes the truth hurts.

It has hurt me deep down in my soul.

We are taught not to lie....especially if you were raised by an Evangelical Preacher.

I have lied to myself many times.

I have lied to others.

Why do you think we lie?

Funny thing is...lying is supposed to be wrong....but every time I have lied... it was to protect me or someone else.

I have lied and said ....yes...that is a nice hair cut.

Yes...I would like to come to your party.

Yes...you sounded lovely singing that song.

No...I do not think you are a hateful person.

We lie because we are afraid the truth will hurt us or someone else....or to keep ourselves out of trouble.

Should the truth be told at all times?

Yes...I still think it should be.

Sometimes the truth hurts...but the truth can set someone free... from many things in life.

I have a very hard time with guilt....even when I tell someone the truth...and it ends up hurting them or someone else....I feel guilty for telling the TRUTH.

Feeling guilty for telling the truth.....that just does not seem right....but it is my TRUTH!

I read somewhere once....be careful with the questions that you ask....you might not like the answer.

I am to the point in my life....where lies will not stay hidden in me....they ooze to the surface.

My personal truth in my soul will not let me house them....and if I do slip and lie....I tell on myself.

Oh would I love to lie sometimes without the guilt....it saves so much heartache.

The truth is....that truth cuts to the heart.

It is a double edged sword.

I swing my sword very carefully.

There are so many sensitive people....so many touchy people....so many that can't face the truth.

Their heart screams....LIE TO ME.

Truth....Lies

Those two words are supposed to be opposites.....I think there needs to be a new word put in between them.

One that makes them make sense to us all.

I am putting in a new link....Depeche Mode...Policy of Truth.

		I know you are a truthful person. Sometimes our insecurities cannot tell when someone is telling the truth. Our insecurities believe it is a lie, even when it is the truth. I think you have to really get to know some-one before you can tell the difference. Great post as always.xx

		I have always tended to be very straight forward (my mom says blunt) She tried to teach me that sometimes it is better not to tell the whole truth but not really lie. I've always had a hard time with that difference. I feel your words very strongly. They are all true in my life as well.

		Am afraid I always tend to be straight forward and tell the truth - have I fibbed? yes, I am human, sometimes in certain situations, a small fib/white lie can help to make excuses to get out of events, I admit I do that - I personally could not live with myself if I truly lied and to me, it makes no sense to lie..but yes, your words do ring true in many ways. Thank you dearheart for this post..think it applies to most of us. hugs

		I tend to be diplomatic with people, but maybe you are right, maybe the truth would be better. I know I tend to be brutally honest with myself and I seem to be all right. Thanks for this post, LftH. xx

		bubblyDi-.. I have told many beautiful lies in my life. Now, I have to hold myself back. I play by the rule, if you can't say anything nice, shut up. hehe. Well, maybe I should say, most of the time I do. Sometimes the truth comes pouring out like a tidal wave, and it does hurt others.

		Debwrk4jesus-... Isn't that funny, our parents drill into us...DO not lie. Then children tend to be so blunt and say really strange and honest things, down to...'Sir your nose is really big.' Then they have the nerve to punish the child for stating the obvious truth. Strange concept truth is.

		The truth sometimes has to hurt in order for anything to be done.xx

		Kentlass-.. Every single one of us deal with this. If one says that they don't. They are lying. hehe

		Pauligan-... This is exactly why I am so quiet in real life. I only talk a lot on this site. I tend to soften the truth the best I can...I kind of paint it pink before I let it pour out of my mouth.

		BubblyDi-.. That is a really good point. Truth that hurts is sometimes the only way to mend certain things in our lives. Like today. I had to sit my son down in front of me like I was still his Sunday School teacher and say some really hard things to him. I think they hurt me more than they hurt him. They sure hurt though...he ended up with tears in his eyes. My son is a tough soul also, he never cries. He did today, and they were healing tears. He is in the best mood I have seen him in, in months....after my sharp truthful words that I said to him.

		a blog about one of my most natural gifts...lieing is like a bad habit for me though i try to stay toward the honest path, i cannot lie and say i have maybe thats why they 'lie' you down to rest. because your not really restin when you go down. i find myself trying very hard not to accidently reveal some of my truth around many people, they are so fragile as you said, if my sluttery mouth opened with truth, all the kings horses would be showin up and i dont have the money to pay em. have a good night, dont let your dreams lie about being fake

		I had to come back and read it one more time. xx

		I think that every single one of us lies at least once a day - how do you answer 'how are you?' Not many people answer the truth on this one - you're always good, fine, not bad etc etc.. Truth and lies are very hard to disguinish sometimes. If you tell the truth but leave some parts out to spare the persons feelings, it is a lie? I tend to say no, just not telling the whole truth. But then one has to ask, is that a lie in itself???... Could go round and round on this one. Great post DifficultSoul. And what would that word be, put in the middle of truth and lies?.....
