"Tell the truth -- but tell it slant" said Emily Dickinson. Long ago I developed a way to do that -- embed the truth in other truths that take the painful edge off the truths one doesn't want to hear. Better the truth, with the seasoning of salt than a sharp stab.

And the TRUTH shall "set you free".

Honesty being the best policy and all.

I once told a friend The Truth...the absolute unvarnished truth. She said it is what she wanted. Turns out she was looking for a "good lie" and although I don't know about the "best policy" it certainly set a few people free...

"Honestly, dear, you want me to be honest don't you?" He replied that yes, he wanted the truth. So I said, " You look like Festus, in that beard! It is so gray and straggling. Not flattering at all. It just has to go!" Um, he said, looking away. " I was just wondering if you liked this shirt." Oops.
( Festus was the town derelict from the old TV show Gun Smoke.)
