A lie or the truth

I have a dear old friend who, in his relationships, would always says things that are convenient  to avoid conflicts. I used to get so exasperated listening to him.


He used to look at me smile, and and say, some day you will understand...


To what extent will one go to maintain a truth..
Sometimes you get into a situation where the other person feels that what you say is untruthful. They are so sure. Now,  it could be a perceived sense of righteousness or a strong sense of gut feel based on previous experiences in life . So strong are their convictions that  they choose to put it to a choice to win it or to lose it all..

What is so difficult about accepting something that is not right.. It should be a no brainier when faced with such dire consequences.. Why do people die for what they believe is right..

I guess people die because both sides believe they are right and don't want to let go of their version of truth...

So truth can kill you.. Oops set you free i mean..

Lie ... And lie with with conviction and you will have a far easier life.. Of course you will have to keep lying to maintain it.. .

A lie is mostly  underrated as it has the potential to make things better.. However Its a lot of hard work, truth on the other hand is easy but painful..

So is a liar as good a person as one who never lies?

Boy am i beginning to see my friend's point of view...

I wonder...  What is important ?..

Truth.....

Lie.....
