Why do we say "the truth will set you free" ?

And yet when you tell someone the truth they prefer to hear a big fat lie?

You tell the truth to set You free. The one who prefers to be lied to has their own issues.
Nice answer, GT!
There's a huge relief in speaking plainly and truthfully and not picking your words carefully. I could never in a million years be a politician uh oh

I like knowing where I stand, I like saying what's on my mind, and if people want to hear comforting lies, guess that promising friendship isn't going to last long. laugh
Biff love
Your new picture .it's it's well..... new

wow
the US government spoke many truth to the Natives or so they said. 1800s
Blue, and shiny. I know.

I'd spent a week driving into the sun. But it's - as you say - new. That's a novelty in these parts.
Gypsy that comment should be on a T shirt
if you look to your right you see reality

if you look to your left you see reality

if you close your eyes, you don't want to see

what's around you
Gypsy...way to go, nice answers.

Ob, The truth will set you free just means that a persons own guilt they feel for lying will go once they tell the truth.
unless you are in Politics, they teach lying to them so we all feel better and for some bizarre reason trust them.
Duromojon another great example
If that's original can I use it...

I'm going to be selling t shirts flat out ...
old

go ahead make your day. jokes are accepted.cool
Duromojon I'm serious
Nothing sells faster than catchy slogans on t-shirts and BS

wow
Hello OB,wave I like to remember the old saying If you haven t got anything good to say , don t say nothing at all. Maybe it carries a hidden message of Don t say something honest, and hurt someones feelings.dunno
Yet another whining blog though I like the idea of a be-100%-frank day.
Be frank I thought you were Paul or is that tenner or 10k....
So many names so much BS
You can't handle the truth
But as always your comments .....are .....yeah whatever



comfort
Biff ...shiney. ..That's the word I was searching for
help
Map I agree 100% Politics
I think you would be perfect

ob, Im running for Mayor here, all because of lies, I might win, but I am more truthful than most here.
...tell the truth, and people arround you will run off. ...then youre free....

cool wine
Can you yourself you reckon pa? Maybe we should ask a bit around. dunno
Snook thumbs up
True that viking
The expression - the truth will set you free - is most likely a religious thing. Accepting whatever god or god stand in the local sect is advocating will "Set you on the path to salvation."
Og. U have it there, but it applies today too, in that u feel very good if u tell the truth, and very bad if u lie, that is, if u have any idea of guilt, which nowadays most don't anymore ! Ob, is dragging up history only, to try to make the people look at themselves and have another take, and hopefully feel bad about their acts. Really hopeless, that !!!
I`d never get leid if the truth would come out of my mouth
"When you are a hammer everything looks like a nail."


innocent
BA...but cows are not stupid.scold
I agree Ek. thumbs up

I know someone who's always lying about his past when meeting a woman.
Eventually they find out and it's the end of the relationship because he cannot be trusted ever again.
I keep telling him he should tell the truth for once and for all...which is not really bad but is ashamed of.

That's what is meant by setting oneself free and not telling someone they're far or whatever which is bad manners.
Dan, not in general. I saw a stupid one, though. She ate my brothers jeans.
As someone said a person that is fat, knows this.
Telling a person that, is not helping them as a matter of fact it
might depress them to even eat more.
No need to bring up somethilng the person already knows.............it can be cruel, so just
say nothing.
We all have flaws and most of us know it...........
I don't believe in lying..........tact, kindness, support,......... yes!!!!..............
BC "fat" was an example only.....
I could have used plenty of othe examples


crying
