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?

A friend showed me the dress she just bought for a wedding.
I thought is was awful If I had gone with her I would have suggested a different dress.
She was obvious so very taken with her choice, big smile and proud of her choice. and
I could not tell her what I thought of the dress.......I lied.........

Moelle and saying it 3 times must make that comment extra true...

Candy kisses 46 I couldn't agree more....

Red looks to me you came on my blog to barf And if you didn't read my blogs how do you know every detail I have ever posted ?

The problem with when you tell a LIE you have to have a great memory

Now that's the TRUTH

Fiery? I think Blue was making his comment to Redex. Gets confusing with all the 'reds' around.wave
i wonder if those who enjoy telling negative truths find it as enjoyable hearing them
Blue my sincere apologies for posting the remark I did. It was brought to my attention by dear missy gypsy. Because of all the names starting with red I took it upon myself @ almost three am in the morning it was directed me. May peace prevail

Indeed free a valid question
wow
Yay! I'm glad you came back, Fiery.

Free, that is THE question. How many can dish it out but can't take it....like at all uh oh
People may prefer to hear a lie if the truth hurts...that's why tact is recommended...

The saying itself is based on the fact that knowing the truth will set you free from illusion...
Kasih and if you believe the lies you tell do they not in your own reality become the truth ?
And then your own realty becomes a lie...sad flower
Play truth or dare them to tell the truth or a lie and see what happens.grin dunno
Mr sea how can you know the truth from one book what if that book is not the correct one ?
Would it not be better to at least read a couple of others before you decide

Yes only those who seek the truth can see the truth
And religion has blinded and corrupted many...
Every conflict through history has been over religious differences



sigh
The problem is, most people don't abide in The Truth. They visit it at Christmas and Easter and take a cursory look around before deciding which seat will give them the best vantage point for seeing what they can handle ...mostly just the choir singing a song they've already heard a thousand times but one that is pleasing to their ears and eyes
Gypsy only a few can sing
But everyone likes to beat their own drum and dance to their own song

@OldBlue

More correctly i should have said that the truth only sets those free who accept it. But you are right, got to seek it else how would you even know what it is. And the way to do that is regular self reflection.

Sorry if my comment is a bit too serious....:)
