Truth that hurt or lies that comfort.If it were only a question that required only a verbal answer,most of us would like to choose truth that hurts,as that seems to be the more noble choice out of the two,it appeals to our inherent chivalrous nature.In reality,we always choose to ignore the obvious,it may be slapping us acros our face,yet we wont question it.When a loved one is doing something that hurts us,our sub-consious knows what the truth is,we know it hurts,we condone him or her by giving him/her the benefit of doubt.The benefit of doubt which we offer is the "Lie that comforts us".The benefit of doubt depends on the amount of trust we place on a person.So,if the person is close to us,we unconsiously choose "lies that comfort"by default,and then when the web of lies we choose to believe run out,we face the "Truth that hurts"So all of us choose both truth that hurts and the lies that comfort,its not a question of choice,but a choice by default.
