Basically, it is referring to either telling a lie to spare someone’s feelings or telling the truth and possibly hurting their feelings. An example being “Do you think that I should go on a diet?” Answering yes might be the honest answer, but answering no will likely make the person feel better.

A lie can make you smile, even though you know the truth. Where as the trhough can bring a tear, because it brings you into reality.

Sometimes we prefer to say a lie that can make you happy because the truth can hurt you.

A lie that make you happy is worth more han a truth than makes bitter your life.

I would say…..you can lie about something so not to hurt someones feelings, or tell them the truth even if it hurts their feelings.

I think it means that when you hear a lie it can make you happy at times, (if its what you want to hear) and the truth can make you cry if its not what you want to hear

You may give up on yourself, but your friend will never give up on you ….your friends may risk to lie to put a smile on your face …for now when it hurts you so badly ….
