Honesty is the best policy but there are times when you do need to deliver the truth in a pretty package as the recipient may not care for the truth. If they are of a nasty disposition, a control freak, a micro-management ninja or someone who was raised in a negative-filled environment, you may need to sugar coat the truth, roll it in sprinkles and hope for the best.

"Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic". Tsk, tsk, tsk. lol
Honesty is always best, if you lie you will nearly always be found out,and you are cheating yourself as well as others.

When someone asks me a question I look into them to see what they really want to know. Not one word is needed and some folks leave at once when they realize what they just did by asking me their question. The ones that stay are a little shaken until they realize I’m no threat to them. I give them what they need which may have nothing to do with their question and they usually leave. Some will have a few more questions and then leave. They got what they came for and that is all they really wanted.

There are and have been times when it hasn't been and aren't. In Nazi-occupied Europe, being asked if you were Jewish by the Gestapo and responding "yes" could've been dangerous. If I go out with a girl who I think is as "ugly as sin" and she asks me if she is pretty, I wouldn't tell her "no", so as not to hurt her feelings.

Honesty of course it is the best policy but I feel that if it is a sensitive issue or can upset the person to whom you are speaking - it has to be delivered in an intuiative way i.e. the person delivering the honesty being aware as far as possible as to what they are saying and the effect it will have on the other person - of course this would involve knowing that person but not necessarily It also depends on what one is being honest about and how much insight the other person has - may be a massive unhappy blow - albeit unintentional if the person doesn't have the insight and the honesty has to be doled out in small quantities and gently maybe with explanation. Sorry this sounds somewhat muddled.
