It's in the Bible that it's good to do so.

I'd rather face the truth, no matter how horrible, than live in a lie.

I'd rather be happy then sad, duh.

I'd rather be in the know rather than be naive and believe in something that's not real.

^ Exactly. Right on the money there :)

Naive? That depends on the situation. There's a different between believing something that could be real and being stupid and naive.

I meant naive as in you don't know the truth-you are naive in the sense of being lied to. Not that you're stupid.

Thank you, princess829. =)

I would much rather know the truth, or tell people the truth, then have lies floating around. Then when the lie was found out, there would be even more tears than if they were just told the truth in the first place.

How can you be naive in the sense of being lied to? I would say unaware?

Like, you're naive to the truth type of thing. Unaware is fine too. It's pretty much the same thing, isn't it? One synonym for naive is "unsuspecting" so unaware and naive are pretty much the same thing.

But that depends on the situation.

Well, it's just one word, and it pretty much means unaware anyway.
Well ya, I mean if it's a surprise party type of thing, I guess I'd want to be lied to so then I'd be surprised. What are you talking about? =)

Live with a lie in general. That the lie is a huge part of your life, like being adopted or something. Can you call a person naive for not knowing that he/she is adopted?
I would never want to know if I were adopted or not. I would rather live unaware of that fact, I would actually rather be lied to. If someone lie to me to make my situation better I wouldn't hold it against them. In those cases I can think of.

Oh, no, okay, yes, in that situation I totally agree with.The person wouldn't be naive. =)

I, personally, would want to know if I was adopted. Of course, I would be upset, but I'd also want to know about my real family and what happened to them, but that's just me. I'd want to know what happened.

Yeah, I know that most people would want to know.

But it depends how big the lie is really? Well I guess it has to be pretty big to make someone cry. But some things are better left unsaid.

Always. I'd rather live with a horrible truth than with a beautiful lie.

better than finding out that your 'perfect' life, relationship, or whatever is a lie.

no ome like to live in a fantacy world full of lies while others are just delighted to make u live in such world

^^Nobody said you had to find out.

the truth absolutely every time

Why tears! A smile is way better than a tear! Well i agree to Monrose! as she said! if someone lied to me to make me feel good or happy than i would be curious but i would like to stay unaware cuz it can make me cry! So why get sad! life is to live....live happily and keep on ejoying!
i agree to Moongoose also!

To everyone who picked Lie that draws a smile,
Truth conquers all.
It's a LIE, it won't make God smile.
It's in the TEN COMMANDMENTS:"Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor"
Life isn't all about FUN, there's times of sorrow and pain as well.
Go ahead, insult me. But I'm just telling you what God told the world. But don't tell me I didn't warn you.

@peetarocks999:
I agree truth conquers all.

Lie depends on situation! If situation is very severe and a lie makes us better and brought a smile than its perfect cuz god is our father and what he wants is that nothing wrong must happen and god's children(we) keep smiling 4ever!

I agree its isnt ALL about FUN its about pain and sorrow as well but if we can be happy than why not!

No one's insulting anyone here....everyone are putting their opinions...and OMG warning? GOSH! Me i think no one of us are telling big lies which may put a bad impact or create a bad result! If a lie is very huge and it makes us smile but makes someone else cry than i think its not good! But if theres a lie which is nohow affecting anyone than its good!

Thats just me!

Id rather tell the truth than lie.

To everyone who picked Lie that draws a smile,
Truth conquers all.

Says who?

It's a LIE, it won't make God smile.

That depends if you believe in it or not. In this case, we'll believe in the lie, so we'll be happy.

It's in the TEN COMMANDMENTS:"Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor"

Yeeah. I don't care about that...

Life isn't all about FUN, there's times of sorrow and pain as well.
Go ahead, insult me. But I'm just telling you what God told the world. But don't tell me I didn't warn you.

God doesn't mean anything to me. And why be sad when you can be happy? Yes, the truth is reality, but if you can escape from it, I don't see why anyone would pick the truth over a lie.

Truth...

A lie that draws a smile will make the truth that draws a tear more painful
