Why sometimes we are not honest to our friends?

That is because we are afraid of truth. We don’t have the courage to stay with reality; we love to stay with our imaginations. We don’t have the courage to say no or yes to keep up with the honesty. We modify the honesty with our bias. Most of the time we think the truth may make our friends unhappy. So we lie to them, and to make that lie truth, we make more lies. And these lies give birth to most of conflicts.
Some days ago I found myself in a strange situation. I found one of my friends in a wrong path. I was trying to correct him, but then I was thinking that it may make him unhappy, because he was thinking that the wrong path was absolutely the right way. Bearing this idea in mind, I stopped. But then I was thinking why I did not correct him, and found that I did not have the courage to say him the truth. So I promised with myself to find that courage talking about truth. So I started speaking to him, but at the middle I found that he was in discomfort, and I automatically changed and started speaking about his strong points and he was happy. When I was alone, I was angry with myself that why I lost the battle so soon.
Are we the same with all of our friends? No………We are trying to make those people happy who are very important to us. But those whom we think that we are more important to them, then we are the other extreme. We make them to change to what we think is right, we don’t even care if they will get upset or unhappy. And these friends don’t have the courage to say that we are wrong, because we may become unhappy.
So to do good things and to say truth we need courage.
