Question: Would You Rather Live A Lie and Be Happy or Live the Truth and Be Unhappy!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I feel more accountable to myself for happiness than for truth!.

Therefore, I would choose living a happy lie, than living in misery for the truth!.

Some answers here obviously don't address your hypothetical question without altering it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I lived a lie and was so unhappy and didn't realize that I wasn't really being myself, just what someone else wanted me to be!.

I lived the truth and I was happy because I was free!.
When I learned to love myself, my whole world opened up; it's when I really began to pick up my life and live it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Truth hurts but lies hurt more"---I'm quoting this from a person I talked to a long time ago
But it's extremely true that lies are more hurtful than the truth!. in ALL cases!. there's nothing like the naked truth piercing into your soul and mind!. but it will always set u free (in the end)
A girl breaks up with a boyfriend with whom she feels chemistry no longer!. the poor boyfriend mourns (and swears it will be like that forever) Ok, what if the girl had never told the boy that she no longer loved him!? wouldnt that hurt more!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you live a lie long enough it becomes the truth!. You can lie so much you can think it's true!. Be happy, I can't see the point of being miserable though!. If you need some extra research watch Woody Allens Crimes and Misdemeanors!. xWww@QuestionHome@Com

I need to know the truth!. It always comes to the light, & it is too awful to comprehend after you have been fooled!. The truth is the only way to live!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
