~~~:stupid: fibbing and little white lies are fine....but complete lying is the worst thing anyone can do.....besides in my case i get terrible guilt when i lie so i dont want to put myself thru that so to me honesty does pay out in the end:shades:

Ode on a Grecian Urn

by John Keats

Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness,

Thou foster-child of silence and slow time,

Sylvan historian, who canst thus express

A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:

What leaf-fring'd legend haunts about thy shape

Of deities or mortals, or of both,

In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?

What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?

What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?

What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard

Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;

Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,

Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:

Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave

Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;

Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,

Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve;

She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,

For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!

Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed

Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu;

And, happy melodist, unwearied,

For ever piping songs for ever new;

More happy love! more happy, happy love!

For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd,

For ever panting, and for ever young;

All breathing human passion far above,

That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd,

A burning forehead, and a parching tongue.

Who are these coming to the sacrifice?

To what green altar, O mysterious priest,

Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,

And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?

What little town by river or sea shore,

Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,

Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?

And, little town, thy streets for evermore

Will silent be; and not a soul to tell

Why thou art desolate, can e'er return.

O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede

Of marble men and maidens overwrought,

With forest branches and the trodden weed;

Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought

As doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!

When old age shall this generation waste,

Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe

Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,--that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

well, it's nice to know I have honest friends :) now, if someone was always honest with you, what would ever cause you to think that they would lie to you all of a sudden?

that they are messed up, and trying to cover for something they did against me...

See, here's the thing. Once people start hearing secrets, they tend to think that that's the trend. But I ask anyone this question, out of all the "secrets and lies" that you hear revealed, how many are NOT revealed?

So, if you think that the truths always come out, Joe. Do you know which truths don't come out?

In relationships, work, just plain old life in general.... does being honest with people benefit you in the end..... so far I've found that it doesn't.....

anyone?

honesty is always best cause without it who are u really? everything just becomes bullshit.

my opinion: people to lie either:

1. have shit to hide that would make them look bad and they are too weak to deal with that

2. are jackasses who don't give a shit about anything other than themselves.

if you're honest and people step on you, you're hanging out with the wrong people.

in relationships if you don't have trust you're just having sex.

very true... theres a lot that DOESN'T come out I suppose...

and you don't know what they are... because... well... it hasn't come out... (As xpander was saying)

so I guess i'll rephrase in saying: If someone lies frequently... eventually, atleast 1 or more lies will come out... casting doubt on anything/everything that person has said/ever will say.

and my point was if you tell the truth and get shit on you should be hanging out with different people.

of course, telling the truth doesn't mean telling people stuff they already know but don't want to hear cause that's just annoying. sometimes its better to just say nothing and not be involved or move on to different people if you're getting shit on by the ones you're hanging with.

I would venture to say that is common sense... but then again... you know what happens when you start assuming ;)
