I always wonder if telling the truth is always the right thing to do or if leaving out certain parts of the truth is still lying. For instance, if a girl cheated on her boyfriend once and it meant nothing and would never happen again, is it worth it to ruin a really good thing for a one time mistake? Would the guilt ruin the relationship anyways? The obvious answer to this is she shouldn't have cheated on him period but when you're the one emotionally involved your priorities are different. If someone close to me asked me for advice I would tell them to tell the truth because its the "right" thing to do but if I was the one who in that position I don't know if I would follow my own advice. If the only thing that comes out of the truth is pain and suffering how can it be right? It's comforting to think of right and wrong as black and white but there are so many grey areas in between that I'm starting to believe the only thing you can do is what FEELS right. No one ever got what they wanted by following their head and living by the book.
