How much truth does a friendship tolerate?

Iris Berben: "Friendship means confessing to a person - the way he is - you do not constantly fool around with a friend, and you say unpleasant truths so that you can do something with them, but you say you have to rely on them can."

Matthias Habich: "Yes - it has certainly happened that I have told a friend the opinion that in one case it led us to lose contact for five years, today we are laughing at the reason for the discord it needs the right time for the truth. "

Corinna Harfouch: "A friendship without truth is not friendship."

Axel Milberg: "The truth is always my truth, I admit, I tend to hold back there unless I'm specifically asked to come out with my truth, but of course there are situations where I tell the truth to a friend, for example. but honestly and, I hope, helpful, I like Max Frisch's suggestion: let the other person know the truth, like a jacket he can slip in. Incidentally, this friend and colleague did not accept her, and it's better for him I was right in my truth, he was right not to accept them, and if we are not all wise as we are, but smarter, it's because sometimes we have to recognize the ugly cruel truth, painfully forced and not so friendly leave as Max Frisch. "

Ulrich Noethen: "To tell the truth to a friend depends on what kind of truth and what kind of truth does a human need? The pure truth? The naked, unvarnished? The bitter? A bit? Or the whole truth?" When I make my friend aware, "You have there's spinach between the teeth, and green is just not your color! "- no problem, he will thank you, but give an opinion unbidden, which touches the core of his personality, possibly the most painful:" See the truth finally in the ugly face, that's the way you are, and that will never change. "- Critical, mostly foolish, but sometimes essential - as a rule there are interpretable signals that show me just how much of my view of the truth is in demand 'There are the beautiful truths, too, and I could handle it more generously!'

Silke Bodenbender: "If you understand honesty in the truth, I want to hope that I can always tell the truth to my best friends, which I would not want otherwise, but I try not to hurt, because who says that my subjective perception actually reflects the truth? "

Gisela Schneeberger: "There are particularly harmonious phases in a friendship, because one promises oneself: Gell, we always tell ourselves the truth! I did that sometimes, maybe too direct in the choice of words, too undiplomatic - the friendship was damaged anyway." Today I go very carefully with "my truths" around, a part of what makes friendship, is unfortunately lost! Wonderful the shooting of 'silver wedding': Eight actors four weeks around a table, then we shot soon smaller, soon larger Truths around the ears, ironically packed at passable levels, they laughed endlessly at each other, at each other, at themselves, and no one was offended - that's the way truth could work. "

Oliver Nägele: "I find truth in our society particularly important because we are constantly confronted with untruths, not minor white lies and fibs, but targeted lies that are meant to mislead many people into reality other than reality, and to do so successfully It is the much easier and more comfortable way to make use of the lie, it requires a lot of self-confidence to tell the truth, because you make yourself vulnerable to it, you have to defend your opinion and thus also show your colors to not let me know how I am or whether I am coping with this or that situation, or what is really my need, that is how untruth was promoted, but now I am more concerned with telling the truth - not just mine Friends, but also my children, my family, my colleagues, I think they have a right to
