Truth vs. Lie - are we overestimating the value of Truth?

Somebody said: "Only women and doctors know how much people need the lie". What do you think about his statement?

Most of us say that we prefer the truth over the lie, but is it so? Are we really honest with ourselves when we say that...?
 
No body needs a lie. Fera is what makes many of us to lie and we think that somehow we will get away with it. But our integrity is greatly compmised.
 
OItani: That's a super saying...
My view about Truth or Lie is plain and simple, and very general for that matter.

Mother's dont' want their kids to lie, because it is in our minds that lie is devil. Is it really? This is something that has been thought over generations - the consequences has been devastating - from a getting a hot scolding from a father to getting tongue pulled out.

BAD or GLAD:
However, forgetting about whether Lie is GOOD or EVIL... if we think with a clear mind, and realize by telling a Lie I made someone happy, should I feel BAD coz I lied, or GLAD coz I made someone's day?

PAIN or GAIN:
More often than not, TRUTH results in Pain....
More often than not, LIE is the source of a Gain

I am not saying we should use LIE as our only ALLY, all I want to say is that it is all in our minds, how we interpret TRUTH, LIE and other controversial thoughts...
 
I think Truth and Lie both are important in today's world
at many situations our lie is much more bigger than a truth. Yes i agree we all should speak truth and try to follow it but it does not mean we speak truth which could harm someone, which hurt someone's feelings,and which break relations. In some situations our lie can save someone's relationships, could make someone happy and could make this world a better place to live.
TRUTH AND LIE ARE THE THINGS WHICH REQUIRE USE OF MIND AND HEART MIND FOR THINKING WHETHER OUR TRUTH IS RIGHT OR WRONG AND HEART TO JUDGE THAT WHETHER LIE CAN BE BETTER THAN TRUTH IN PARTICULAR SITUATION.

I think Truth or Honesty is The Best Policy... Truth is like BitterGourd.. It feels bitter in the beginning but has many advantages... like when we say truth we are confident and happy.. and lie is like sweets... sometimes good but can cause trouble at the end... But in some cases telling lie is good. For Example When A mother lies to her child when he refuses to eat food that " eat the food otherwise police will come and take you".. like When someone is having incurable disease and is gonna die but his family and friends lies to him that he will soon be cured... and he is fit and fine... I mean the lie which is for betterment of someone like in the examples or which helps others and is for good of all and society is fine... but telling lie should not be made a habit coz otherwise we will be in situation like of that boy in story of wolf and shepherd... wherein the boy rearing sheeps use to daily lie that wolf came and make fool of villagers... but one day wolf came in reality and he shouted for help but no one came for help and the boy lost all his sheeps.. I mean if we speak too much lie people lose trust on us and they don't trust us when we actually speak the truth... so i will conclude that truth and lie both are necessary if they are for betterment of all and they don't hurt anyone...
 
True VS Lie fight cannot be discussed.
Truth is truth and Lie can be defined as good LIE or bad LIE.
People say.. For good things a small lie is acceptable. This makes sense? For me it does. I am dying due to AIDS, and I am told I am dying due to cancer. Then, may be dying because of Cancer will have my soul rest in peace. But If I know I am dying due to AIDS, then may be I will die early, may be I will live less than I would have lived due to cancer. Though it is a lie a Good LIE. Another thought comes to my mind.. Can it be..
Good Truth / Bad Truth VS Lie? Do we need to change definitions for Truth and LIE?
 
Telling the truth or a lie is up to the situation (time, subject, conditions vs). One can choose what to tell by her/himself. But the worst condition is the prompt condition (suddenly occuring) when you can not decide which one to tell.
 
truth or lies, use of a singular path will always have a set of consequences, a gud mixture both can b very useful in life
 
truth my seem very difficult to pursue but their is no better way to accept reality.. if one wouldn't accept truth some or the other time he/she will have to face it and then may be they have no choice and it might not be too pleasant..
 
i agree with ramvilas . The truth needs to be told like a bandage needs to be removed . it hurts only for the 1st few seconds but lies always breeds more lies.
 
I always speak truth but in unavoidable circumstances I also lie. If you know unless you speak lie u will be fired then what is the harm in lying. do whatever that will make u safe from the problems either true or lie.
 
truth or lie , is safer and to be used until it doesnt hurt anybody. even from the epics we have lot of examples starting from harichandra. even krishna and rama many times didnt stand their words just to safeguard people. even krishna boycotted the war ethics just to overcome evil spirits. so everything is good in this world until u are good for everyoone.
