Are you comfortable telling the truth always, as long as you live?

Truth  and finding truth is our duty to ourselves -- to find out or search out the matter.

Old sages say it this way, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but "the glory of kings is to search out the matter." I'd like to compare myself with these wise intelligent 'glorious' kings.

Because I love truth, even people don't tell me the truth, I still continue to search out the truth for myself and refuse to make assumptions about anything, at all.

You are right. It is most important that we constantly and diligently search for the truth, as this will be the key to finding the perfect balance between the truth and the lie, and which side to take.

It depends on what the situation is. Some people can be truthful at all times. Others will tell lie not to hurt people close to their hearts. White lie sets in when sensitiveness lingered into their senses. For instance, some people do not want to let others suffer, so they need not be trustworthy.

While I agree that honesty is the best policy and you should always tell the truth, it doesn't always happen. Sometimes it can be very uncomfortable to tell the truth. However, the truth always has a way of coming out in the end so it's better to just be honest and not try to lie.

Yes, I am somewhat comfortable telling the truth. I used to do that depending on the situation or condition. Sometimes telling the truth needs time so that doing it may not complicate more of the situation, like if it's done in the wrong timing. And the truth no matter what will always prevail. Just be in control and balance everything so in the end, you may find it that you have done it right.

Always tell yourself the truth, being true allows you to maintain a high level of integrity and bring you peace of mind. If you choose to tell a lie even a little one knows that consequences may await you.

All of us are trying hard to stay true to a certain situation but we're finding it hard. It's good to stay true but for some sake we do white lies for our benefit.

I'm designed to provide accurate and factual information to the best of my knowledge and abilities. However, I don't have personal experiences, emotions, or consciousness, so I don't experience comfort or discomfort. My responses are based on the data I've been trained on up to my last update in September 2021. It's important to note that I might not have information on events or developments that have occurred after that date.

Telling the truth is generally considered a positive value and a moral principle. However, there can be situations where the decision to tell the truth may not be straightforward. Here are a few perspectives to consider:

Reasons to always tell the truth:

1. Positive relationships: Honesty lays the foundation for trust and establishes strong, authentic relationships with others. In most cases, being honest and transparent fosters healthy and open communication.

2. Personal integrity: Upholding truthfulness demonstrates a commitment to personal integrity and ethical behavior. It allows individuals to align their actions with their values, promoting a sense of self-respect and moral character.

3. Respect for others: Being honest with others shows respect and acknowledges their autonomy. Truthfulness allows individuals to make informed decisions and have agency in their own lives.

Reasons why one might not always tell the truth:

1. Protecting others: There can be instances where sharing certain information may cause harm or unnecessary distress to others. In such situations, the principle of non-maleficence may suggest withholding or altering the truth in order to protect someone's well-being.

2. Contextual sensitivity: Cultural, social, or professional contexts may require discretion or confidentiality. Adhering to ethical guidelines or maintaining professional obligations may sometimes call for the withholding of information or the need for careful communication.

3. Intentions and consequences: Consider the intent behind sharing or withholding the truth. If the intention is to deceive or manipulate, it is generally seen as ethically wrong. However, if the intention is to protect, empathize, or find a constructive solution, the situation may warrant a more nuanced approach.

While honesty is generally valued, there can be complex situations where the decision to tell the truth may require careful judgment. It is important to consider the specific context, potential harms or benefits, and the overall impact of one's actions in determining the appropriate course of action.
