Failing to spare someone's feelings is a small price to pay when they get far more hurt when they discover you lied to them and they can't trust you anymore. And lying does more harm to oneself than anyone else. I also think that the easier it is to lie to others the easier it is to lie to yourself and then that allows you to buy into fallacies more easily and makes it more difficult for you to be a consistently logical person.

I don't agree.
I've been asked on numerous occasions questions like "Does my bum look big in this" or "Should I dress more age appropriate" Those sorts of questions can be answered with the persons feelings being taken into account.

I know what you are saying, but I reserve the right to practice the level of honesty that you are talking about for things that matter.
