" Hurt me with the truth don't comfort me with a lie " ..

It seems a lot of people would rather be comforted with lie than risk the possibility of being hurt by the truth. i see this a lot in personal relationships. When hearing the truth, people often turn on the defense and deny, attack or shift the focus somewhere else.

Truth or lies? The truth could hurt more but lies definitely hurt a lot longer. As for me i want the truth so i can deal with it.
