They say there are some "goodbyes" that are meant to be for the better of you. They also say, some lies are for protection. What you don't know, won't kill you. In essence, it's the things that you didn't know- The lies told for "safety"- Are actually the ones that suffocate the life out of you. True- What you don't know, won't kill you. It won't. At least, not immediately. They won't be accused of homicide, because by the time, the jury deems "not guilty," you are already gone. No signs of a struggle.
So, goodbyes and lies. Descartes said to choose the lesser of two evils. Which would be more preferable? I reckon a goodbye is better than a lie. One can survive a farewell; but a lie is simply too difficult to digest. You'd be constantly, constantly, AND constantly doubting. Forgiveness is a must; forgetting isn't. The first is easy; the latter, not. And yet, no matter how many lies, the heart is a brutal riddle- For, one side will live in everyday reminders and break into splinters all over again, while the other part will forgive and overlook. And still hold affection. What is it about humanity that causes two sides to be created, and yet, they can't be reconciled?
To lie would be to eventually doubt the truth yourself. Lying effectively to another makes you a liar- To your own self. Better to be a brutally honest person, and save one, than to evade, and damn your fellow mortal.
