Hiding from the truth will only make it more painful when the time comes to face it. And you can't hide forever.

the harsh truth will hurt a lot more if they got a lie at first then had to learn the truth

As the Physicist Carl Sagan, an idol of sorts of mine, put it: "Better by far to embrace the hard truth, than a reassuring fable" (the quote is in the context of religion but I take it to apply to life in general).

Interestingly enough, even though almost everyone has said (and will say) truth, we all lie to ourselves (and others) so frequently...

People say painful truth, but look at how people respond to media. People are always more apt to believe a convenient lie. Such is politics.

The truth is always right. There is no escape from it. It will eventually be exposed.

Well morally, you should tell the truth even though it can lead to ****.

You can lie, because some people just can never handle the truth.

Acknowledging something is best doesn't necessarily mean the people doing the acknowledging live by it.
