Lies.



One thing I don't understand at all is, Why do people feel the need to lie? Is the truth that much worse? I would rather know the truth the first time around than to be lied to and then discover the truth later on.



and is twisting the truth as bad as lying? I think so.



In a relationship, people put a big value on honesty. I heard a funny statistic on the radio the other morning. Guys lie on average 7x on a first date. 7 times! So, when it comes to relationships, is there ever really any hope if this is how we start out?!



For instance, when boundary lines in a relationship turn gray and things have no longer become defined as black and white, then the truth becomes shady as well. And now in this gray area, we have all sorts of problems.

So, can people just be honest with one another? Or is there a time where honesty really isn't the best policy? OR is being brutally honest just as bad as lying? Especially when the truth hurts. Hum...random thoughts of the day.
