When did truth become a lie?

"Why do we avoid honesty so much, and at the same time praise it? Is it because we believe at the core of our being, we are "evil" but what if at the core of our being we were something more pure than being "good" but rather possessing the wholehearted desire to be good?"

That is what I wrote on a piece of paper just a moment ago, and Kant would totally agree with this. This is something that we have been taught as kids for years. Do you want to know what I see growing up as? Being mature, is learning when to lie. Being mature, is hiding our demons. Somewhere, somehow, we got the ridiculous indication that those things are the "courteous" thing to do. That it would be the lesser of us, to burden society with such a thing. To burden people with the truth. So we carry it on our backs.

"Men establish and confirm their daily life of routine and habit everywhere, which still is built on purely illusory foundations. Children who play life, discern its true law and relations more clearly than men, who fail to live it worthily, but who think that they are wiser by experience, that is, by failure." ~Thoreau

For once in the case of truth it is not a nice gesture to carry the load or "burden" if you may of truth for another person. This is the equivalent of exiting the cave (in Socrates allegory of the cave) and hiding the world of knowing from the people within. Which to me is a horrible sin. All the time I hear, "god is truth" from christians who dastardly use that as a reason for evangelicalism; but at the same time they are willing to lie about, their own faith, their own "demons", and any other "white lie" of the sort. You cannot tell me god is truth without saying at the same time, but we are lies.

But lets see what a lie is, in the dictionary it is a false statement said with the deliberate intent to deceive. When I look at a lie, I see it as much more than one person intending to deceive other people. Whether you believe it or not the world is not full of people out to get each other. A lie can also be told to oneself, a lie can be a faith of sorts. Is there such a thing as a "good" lie? A lie told with the best intentions? We see this scenario all the time, lets say an adopted child is not told until he/she is an adult that he/she was adopted. Everytime they say, "why didn't you tell me?" Thats the common line, but thats also the common thought. Most people, can handle the truth. Because like a faith, a person no matter how burdened, has something to believe in; truth. Which is very important to the human soul. Notice I have said both truth and lies is faith, but by a lie being a faith I mean wishful thinking. and by a truth being faith I mean the genuine trust and confidence that truth, is true. For lack of a better definition. So when is it appropriate to lie? As soon as the truth is realised first, because wishful thinking isn't a crime. In my book; it is Never ok.

Forget I said this, it is too pessimistic and hard to digest.
