The Edward Hyde Show: 127 : The bigger wrong

"Sometimes I get to feelin’, I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids when we were young, things seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young,
The sun was always shinin’ - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don’t know,
The rest of my life’s been just a show."

--Freddie Mercury, These are the days of our lives.

Episode 127 : The bigger wrong

Which is a bigger wrong?

Telling the truth so that you are free from the guilt of having spoken an untruth or not spoken in favour of what is true, but hurting the listener, a person you care for, in the process.

Or, not telling the truth and feeling guilty every time the topic is mentioned, but the listener is not hurt in the process. However the listener will be more hurt when the truth finally comes out.

'The truth shall set you free.'

I wonder if the first speaker of these words considered this knotty issue.

    Girl: Do I look fat?
    Guy (to himself): @#!%

    Well? Does he tell the truth or not?

    i think he did, and he still thought truth sets you free - your first option..
    on your scenario - what is the truth? assuming she does look fat, it can be 'yes' with a disclaimer that draws attention away from the yes :)..like 'i think its this dress'
