"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth"
- Henry Thoreau
After saying if I choose the truth or feeling good, I thought first what does it mean the word "Truth".
What is the truth? When we call something truth? Truth is most ofend used to mean being in accord with fact or reality, may also often be used to refer the idea of authenticity. I could keep telling doubts abouts what is real, what is not, who is authentic, who's not and so on. In simple words to me the truth does not exist, it's an ilussion in our consciousness to make things comprehensible and this reality have sense.
We usually call truth a limited perspective of facts, truth it's subjective is not absolute. People hear what they want to hear, sometimes the facts can hurt but this is underling to people's aptitude to open their minds to all posibilities.
In my opinion, I prefer to people tell always the truth (if it really exists), everything you do or say will hurt somone in anyway, but people must learn to get the good things of facts and keep moving on to grow up and live better

Wow...I agree that there is a subjective kind of truth. For example, chocolate ice cream is best (well, my opinion). On the other hand, I think that absolute truth also exists. For example, oxygen is necessary for us to breath, etc... such facts. On the other hand there are many things that lie in between.
