Can a lie express truth?

Lies are like a cancer, the more you say. The better at it you are. Frankly before you know it, no man would believe you. But you would be considered a charming listener.

While truth on the other hand, is like a sickle. No matter how much you want to dull it, it will still hurt the person.

Truth can hurt those caught in misfortune and insecurity.

Dave Chappelle calls it "When Keeping it Real goes wrong"

'Lies are like cancer. the more you say the better at it you are' (?) You've lost me on that one mucker.

Sorry Mel:

I meant that you get too good at it, that you cannot say anything truthful.

A lie is what we want to believe. The truth is what we fear. In the end they're both the same. The person telling it knows whether it's fact or fiction. The person listening has the option to believe it or not, so depending on the choice...it can go either way. Besides, you know lies spread like wild fire whereas the truth barely flickers a flame.

I agree with Ismail. I mean lies only lead to more lies though. lying makes it harder to get out the truth, most of the time. I think the truth shoudl be the first, unless it threatens a person. But, lies lead to lies, and the chain is very hard to break, and the better you are at it, the harder the chain is to break. Don't lie, EVER! Break the habbit, no matter how hard, the truth is the best way to go. again, unless it threatens a person, and i say really threatens a person, then a lie or i wouldn't say that, a small fib might come to good use.

Yes. A lie can express a truth.

You know who said that?

A liar.

I don't know if someone answered a quesiton asked earlier about the name of the movie, but it was called A Few Good Men.

Lieing an iffy toss up with me, it can express truth, but being a pathalogical lier myself, I've just never seen the truth come out as I am talking.

Hmm *gets confused*

That's like saying; Can you be happy when you're sad?

*gets even more confused*... nevermind..

I like what --PreciousIllusion-- just said.. hahah

Sigh. Your like a painter who claims one single dot on a canvus is a masterpiece.

I think that is very true. A lot of people take a lot of time making up reasons for something when they could just come out and be truthful about it from the beginning, and in the end, they end up spitting out some sort of truth within the lies anyways.

Sometimes, when you can't say things just as they are, you make a *fairytale* that is symbolic....
I think I heard somewhere that all the old-fashioned fairytales were actually disguised truths and predictaments..but who knows?

//T.L.//

personally I think that lies do not tell the truth but are based on a tiny lil portion of truth and they warp it and supress it until it all becomes a creation of the mind
