I prefer the truth. At least you will know where you stand with that person. If a certain person doesn't like you, but pretends he likes you, is that something you would wether like? I know the truth can hurt, but living a lie is more hurtful for the person who gets lied to.
I'm not talking about the little lies, "leugentjes om bestwil" in Dutch, that is not going to hurt anyone, it's the lie that comes with another lie and another...that is the big thing Barta is talking about here.
And believe me, it's better to break off with bigtime liars!!
Gal, I understand what Barta is talking about here. And I also understand what
you are saying (bolded line). Maybe that is best for you and I can respect that.
I can't do that though. I can not turn my back on anybody no matter how bad they
hurt me. It is just me. It is the way I was taught. If I find out someone has
lied to me, small lies or big lies, I will be careful what I believe when they
tell me something. I will be careful what I tell them, but I will never turn my
back on them and walk away no matter how bad I hurt. I will try to find the good
in them (and yes I believe there is good in everybody even liars). This is what
I was taught, not to condem anyone for what they do or have done but to try to
find the good in them and focus on that. Know their bad side and be cautious, but
never condem and walk away, because someday they may really need someone and you
might be the only one they have to turn to.
This doesn't make sense to alot of people. I know I am in the minority in what
I believe, but like I said before this is just me and the way I was brought up.
I believe in God and I believe this is what he wants of me, so there is no
way I can ever cut ties and walk away from anyone.
My own opinion and I hold no one else to it. I respect the way other people
feel and what they have to do to help themselves. My way is just different
though. It is me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
