Sometimes silence is the best policy.

Honesty IS the best policy. If you're avoiding telling someone something because you feel guilty about hurting them, that's being selfish on your part. Just get it out there in the open. It may hurt but it's better than knowing someone lied to you.

There is honest and honesty......yes it is the best policy it keeps you from having to make up more and more lies......but if its a random...."how does this dress look tonight" and its horrible...you don't have to say its horrible..you could just say...oh its ok but I liked the red one you wore the other night better...
see what I mean?
Lying to hide things is not being honest
I don't feel you have to hurt someone just for the sake of being honest.....just depends on what you really mean or what situation.
If your asked "do you love me" and you don't.....don't lie, but put it to them in a less hurtful way......hope you got my drift

So be honest with the person, They will eventually get over it. This is the only way to handle it.

As a christian i was tought this too........... but you cant use it as an excuse to dishing the dirt at someone....... the Bible itslef says there's time to shut up.
Just think what difference would it make to tell them......... if in the end they need to know they'll appreciate it and maybe will get mad at you but you at least did the right thing.
hope you make the right choice =D
