“The truth may be stretched thin, but it never breaks, and it always surfaces above lies, as oil floats on water.”
— Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Do you prefer a bitter truth or an easy/innocent lie? Truth’s harder for sure 😉

When you lie, you have to remember what you said so you can keep your story straight which can be tricky. The other person may never find out, however, there is always a risk they will. If they do find out, you will lose them forever most likely because lies hurt on the receiving end and people don’t tolerate lies much. I know it’s easier to lie on the other end but that is only a temporary solution. On the other side of the coin, if you find the courage (I know it’s the toughest decision to make…) to tell the bitter truth, start out by saying how hard it is to say what you need to say but you respect the person so much that you could never lie to them. At that point, you have their attention and you have softened the truth already. Just come out and say it knowing that it’s risky but it’s also the right thing to do. If it’s meant to be it will last, they will be more forgiving of you than if you lied. Give some time and space so they can process it and if they truly care about the relationship, they will come back. ❤ That's my opinion! 😉 Hope it helps 🙂

Hats off! Brilliant. The way to start and grab the attention towards the weightage & seriousness of the situation is the key 🙂 Truth is just mere words and if said with proper amount of guilt and self-realization can do wonders 🙂 Thanks Jen for your thoughts and great answer 😉

Yes, that’s the exact resemblance to the bitter truth then. The truth kills the emotions we have for the speaking person as it’s the bitter truth and makes us think multiple times before being engaged in any way with the person. Or sometimes, as the person told the truth, we should also give them a second chance for their honesty, provided it’s sure that it won’t be repeated. Tricky business 😀 I didn’t know about the fact that you mentioned. Thanks Himanshu for the additional knowledge 🙂
