The Truth about False

The uncomfortable truth is that more people are hurt by people telling the truth than by people telling lies. Don't get all excited, you liars. I'm not taking your side, the sole reason this is true is that most lies never actually come to light. When they do, it's pretty much double the blow as it would have been had you just been honest in the first place. But since it is relatively rare, the sheer amount of people being hurt by the truth just easily surpasses those hurt by lies. It is an uncomfortable truth and one that I have never been able to stomach very easily or adapt to very well. I'm not good at those little white lies that keep people happy even though they themselves know it's not true. And trust me, I seem to hurt many more people than my friends to whom it comes like second nature to lie about little things.
