Hmmm...may kahirapan ang question na to, a.

But thought-provoking...
Let me try...
I guess it all depends on the situation, who are the people involved and the gravity of the lies. LOL
When i was younger...naks...tanana-nananana....
Seriously, when I was younger, I hated being told the truth if it hurt. But as I got older, it mattered to me more that people around me told me the truth. Because I guess, when you are older, you are or have 2 things:
- the maturity to take the truth and learn from it, instead of hating the person who said it to you.
- secondly, you are already tired of half-truths, white lies, etc as you grow older.
As to the gravity of the matter in question... If I'm about to show myself in public, and I feel (and look) awful, I won't mind a girlfriend saying, "You look fabulous!", especially because she knows i needed that boost. But i would appreciate the same girlfriend saying, "Hey, you really messed this one up, girl!", if I've just made mistakes in a project that would have a major impact to me personally or professionally, and would affect many other people.
