Motive is always important...what was underneath the lie?

what was been protected? Was it really to protect you or them? if it were on my death bed??? all i can say is truth is truth and will come out in the end...even years later it can bite you on the bum...but at that moment in time if it was to protect someone then like i say MOTIVE is important to me....aswell as truth. Truth can be delivered to deliberatly hurt someone aswell????

If my mum had a really bad tattoo done and it looked dreadful i would tell a little white lie and say it was not that bad..simply to protect her feelings as they are stuck with a tattoo permanently. MOTIVE! not protecting me! you have not really told the whole truth in this question have you?

If I'm walking down the street then I'd rather someone told me a knock knock joke than pointed out my top and skirt didn't match.

I'f it's to do with a relationship then I pick truth everytime. Lying to someone is never ever the right thing to do in the long run.

Good Luck!! xx

TRUTH, TRUTH, TRUTH, TRUTH, TRUTH... Each and everytime..

Lies are too confusing, I can't do anything with them because they take me into fantasy and imagination. Problem solving and trouble shooting needs clear reality to get things sorted out....
