The running from the truth hurts more. Knowing there is a truth, and finding a painless way to get to it, is the simpler way to find your truth and get on with it. It can help, if you are mature enough to play with it, until the truth becomes a vehicle to a better way. Don't search blindly, or desperately, or if you fear the answer, approach it differently.

Wow. Another provocative question. Sometimes, searching for the truth is an exercise in futility, that is, if the "truth" is in understanding what motivated someone to do, or not do something. Often means spinning our wheels & accomplishing nothing. Yet, some truths MUST be searched out. (I don't mean absolute truths, or in the abstract.) A poor example, but one that comes to mind from recent, personal experience. I strongly suspected I was being "scammed" by someone at a bit of a distance. It was essential to "search" the truth. This took incredible time & effort. Yet, what I discovered (facts) may have saved me from a huge disaster. While I had trusted the person, my intuition proved me right. Had I run from it, I hate to think of what would have happened. I think it depends on what sort of "truth" you're seeking. I'm not getting into an "esoteric" answer here (although there's no reason not to.) I'm focusing on how your question relates to the every day Newtonian world. In this case, rather than "running from"--as in searching for the truth of a person's motivations, I would refer to this as LETTING IT GO. There are so many aspects to this question they could be debated
ad infinitum. Excellent question!

I would say running from because then it's between you and yourself. In the short term lying can get you off responsibility or punishment but in the long term you'll have to lie more and more to keep up and in the end you'll lose any respect for yourself.
On the other hand searching for the truth and accepting it however painful it may be is nasty in the short term but will give you greater self-esteem in the long term.

This all depends on who you were throughout the history of mankind and what your role is as a human. What I mean, is that God chose a group of people to be his Chosen people. People of all races have to search for the truth throughout their lives; it's these people that will make it to God's kingdom. To answer your question, it hurts more to run away from it because if you do - you're saying that you want to return to this hell we all call earth over and over again. For those Unchosen people, it hurts to search for it, never to accept it, and to then run from it.
~ Everyone, today search for the truth, accept it, and run with it!

running from the truth..
When you believe the truth is not true, then you searching after what you though is the real truth, but you got nothing.
hearing the truth maybe hurts but you get hurts every second you trying to run from it.
running from it requires:
1. remember the truth
2. deny it
3. creates illusion to distract your mind
4. keep saying, "it's not true"
and it all hard and useless because truth will always be truth.

Running from truth hurts more. If you are running from the truth, then you are always on the defensive. If you are searching after the truth, then you are trying to improve yourself, which if you are able to do, feels good.

i would say running from it. by running you are denying the truth and by doing that you will never stop running.
NOW by searching after it you will either find it or not,but either way you will be doing something worth while and in doing that you will probably find peace. In my opinion seeking truth is an admirable trait.

Hi ;) I know that's the actual saying "the truth hurts", but I would rather say that the lie hurts more... The truth is something that I can accept and appreciate it, but lies are those that make more damage... ;)

No matter how far you run or how hard you hide you can never escape the truth or run from it. I say it hurts more.
When you search for it you have an option and you don't yet know the truth.

I think the theory that the truth sets you free really explains it. If you run from your problems and lies then wouldn't it make it worse? I think if more people would tell the truth there wouldn't be as many problems today as there are.
