As we have a choice to either tell the truth or tell a lie, should we not also choose as to how we percieve being lied to? I am not out there for being lied to, however I usually try to look at why the lie.
I don't remember going into any formal contracts with my friends on this subject, but usually if you know them well enough and they are the kind of person who does not, under any circumstance, want you to lie to them... they'll tell you. This makes it easy... you can do just that, tell them the brutal truth at any given moment. On the other hand there are other people that you know will not want to know, cannot face, are not ready for, or will not handle your perception of the absolute truth... I've been thanked on occasion for the 'kind lie' ???
I can see where Suave & Xell101 are coming from. Well said guys
