    Not always. If someone is telling the truth that someone else just won the lottery, for instance, I DOUBT the person receiving the news and the money would feel bad.

    On the other hand, I'm always amused when people ask questions they already know the answers to yet get angry when the person asked tells the truth. (The prime example is "Does this dress make me look fat?")

    Not always true. Sure somethings have been sugar coated too much and the truth about somethings can be harsh and unpleasant but other times it can be nice. Like butterfly's are first made from something ugly (though I think they are very pretty as catapilers), chubby kids can get skinner, what can be considered as ugly can grow into something beautiful.

    Hope this helps

    of course not.

    The truth is only unpleasant if you choose it to be. You don't need to be nasty to be truthful.

    I broke the vase

    I did the washing up without being asked. How can that truth be unpleasant.

    I enjoyed our chat today.

    I think this movie is great

    I love your shirt

    I like the colour of your eyes.

    Now if the truth is ALWAYS unpleasant than what happened with the truths above?

    No it is not true ...truth is always pleasant but if it is bitter truth then one can feel it is unpleasant for a moment.
