How would you want it? update on Anenigma517

Inspired by mzhunyhole [post 200155]

She posed a very, very interesting question in her blog...and I asked in my comment did she want an ugly truth or a pretty lie.

This isn't about her question...or her post.

My dad used to say this all the time.
Do you want an ugly truth....or....A pretty lie?

I gave an ugly truth...an ugly truth in my opinion...not someone elses or based on what the majority felt...but my opinion of the question at hand and in no way shape or form do I or did I mean or intend any disrespect to anyone..and I do not want that misconstrued. Ok. I just gave a comment based on the truth as I see it..to a question that was put out there for all to answer or not.

Does it depend on the question?

Does it depend on the person asking the question?

Do you give the ugly truth or do you give a pretty lie...or maybe what you think they'd want to hear?

Does it depend on what you will get out of it?

Does it matter to you what other people think if you do give a painfully ugly truth...cuz sometimes the truth is ugly..ain't it?

As for me... and possibly many of you pondering these questions.

I have to say I've done both...for various reasons.

Can't say either way which I've done more of...but I have been known by my family and friends...to "say it like it is".

Sometimes though...I don't say it "gentle" enough...at times when I should have...especially if I'm telling someone the ugly truth.

Pretty lies...
Maybe I didn't want to hurt someones feelings, especially someone I might not know very well or maybe someone I love very much...or maybe I would be showered with praise or other attention....if I answered with a pretty lie.

Maybe I just didn't have any good answer either way...and so said or thought..screw it.. this is what they want to hear...this is what they are fishing for.

When we ask a question..do we want truth..ugly as it may be or do we want to hear a pretty lie?

Hearing it said to you...is a of a different color now isn't it?

So...ugly truth..pretty lie? How do you want it?

Straight truth is much easier to deal with. Lies have a way of coming back and biting you in the ass.

Have tongue, will use it. Repeatedly.

fun4allin2006 ~~ I know what you mean....it's like the analogy... we can't see our own eyebrows but someone else can. My dad.. was a character...that's for sure. He was very wise in a common kinda way. Thanks for the visit.

citizen_five ~~ Thanks for the warning...lol... I'll make sure if I ever ask you a question, not to ask one that will upset me if you tell me "the ugly truth". LOL.

jynxgurl ~~ Very true sweetie... very true. Your quite wise for your young age. I like that. Reminds me of my daughter.

mzhunyhole ~~ Thanks huny....I kinda thought you'd be the type that want's to hear it straight out...good, bad or otherwise... w/out sugar coating it. I'm glad your my friend and "sista" too.

StarGazer769 ~~ I really liked this... "if the truth I give you now ends our friendship, at least we were once friends - a lie would mean we never were."
I don't think I've heard that one...but it holds a lot of truth that's for certain.
Thanks.

Here's an example of a "pretty lie".... ahem...

Why I had no idea you wore dress's...and..no Keith...not at all, in fact that dress makes you look like you've lost 15lbs.

firehot2003 ~~ Yep... see Stargazers comment. Looks like you've lived it huh? I think if someone can't take the truth then they ought not ask and if they are going to get upset with you..and you lose your friendship over it...then most likely they weren't your friend after all.

    Quoting rm_DaphneR:
    Turn around and bend over sweetie. Let me judge from that angle.
hehe... Daphne... you kill me.

I guess she'll give her answer once she see's it from all views, huh?

I'm wondering...will it be the dreaded ugly truth or a pretty lie all nice and sugar coated...

Only Daphne will know the answer to that one... Stay tuned folks...for another episode of Truth or Lie...brought to you be the Mystical Mistress network ?*

Ugly truth...pretty lie; one hurts briefly, the other, the pain drags out slowly. It's deception by another person and by yourself..and deep down YOU know it's a deception, you just don't want to face it. Tell me the ugly truth, let me get over it and move on.
