"I can't expect the truth from those who continue to lie to themselves"

Whoa now Sista!!! What do you mean by "...you..."? I hope you're not referring to me! I only asked this question to spark conversation; it was NOT a personal question.

Relax Bruh and take a few breaths!!! I wasn't referring to you directly and I understand that this is simply a hypothetical question. But just to relieve any confusion let me rephrase the question. Were you asking if "a person" should withhold the truth because most of the time "people" are not able to handle the truth? Therefore, it would justify the other "person" lying?

Yeah, that's it; that's what I'm askin'.

O.K. so in your opinion would that justify lying?

Quite honestly, I can't think of many situations that justify lying; but I can think of a few. I think it depends on the nature of the truth, and who has to get it.
