What is the value of a lie?

When you are forced to lie because you were told a lie is much easier than telling the truth. Why is it not the opposite way round where telling the truth should be easier?

I have thought about it and I put myself in many a situation where someone was telling me the truth and telling me a lie, I quickly realized that when the person telling the lie is emotionally invested into the subject. Many reasons why this is either one is ashamed, scared of what people think, proud, feel that they have disappointed.

Think about this when you have achieved something you will most likely think of someone to tell and that being said when you tell that person you will either tell the truth or tell a lie on the amount or the goal achieved, that is not the point i'm trying to get across it is that how we let our(yes even I fall prey to this) personal involvement within our relationship with the subject matter cloud our mid and what foundation your bond is built up on will determine whether you feel worthy of telling the lie or the truth.

That being sad look back and see if you were ashamed, emasculated, insignificant,felt that your best was not good enough and so on... you will definitely find yourself subconsciously disguising the lie by exaggerating it. Challenge yourself to not fall into that trap, I say "Humans will not like the lie but will respect the truth and if one does not respect the truth then they are not worthy of the truth"

I will and forever say "If one can't tell the truth what is the value of their word". The truth hurts I know, it always hurt if you not ready to hear it, but keep in mind how will you train yourself for the truth, if you dont know what the truth sounds like?

Why does the truth always hurt? It does not have to, we have always attached this stigma to the word truth where it must hurt in order for it to be the truth(real). Funny how People are willing to tell the truth to someone is only when they have gone so far that when they hear the truth it hurts, because deep down inside they know that there is a problem. We as humans should challenge each other and uplift each other that the truth is not only spoken but awoken.

It is thought and tongue that determines the courses we take and the courses we take is what describes the person we are.
