A true friend tells the truth no matter whether it causes pain or antagonism. I remember when I was madly in love for the first time and he hurt me by lying when I asked was he in love with someone else. 3 months later they are married. I found out from a friend that read it in the paper. The torment that I felt was so very life altering. But had he been real and truthful, yes there would have been pain, but not to the same extent. He would have at least had my respect, now he has nothing!
Compromise.....in other words, does the end justify the means? Not necessarily - you have to live with yourself!
Yes, I have felt bad about not following thru on a priority.........more than once! ~BuG hUgZ~
