I guess it would depend on the subject. For instance, if I knew with certainty what would happen to me after I die, I think it would make the balance of life rather uninteresting. I enjoy musing on the possibilities of what could happen after death.
Would You Rather Be Told The Truth Or Not?

I guess if by knowing the truth i could affect the ultimate outcome of the situation, i'd want to know. to use stilla's example...if i'm with my boyfriend, and he sleeps around behind my back, would i want to know? yes. but if i've already broken up with him and he has the opportunity to tell me AFTER the relationship is over what he's done, i dont want to know. what's the point?? it will only make me feel bad and there's nothing i can do to ameliorate the situation.
so i guess my answer varies depending on the matter in question.

what if what was only once, the cheating? i'd want to know if i was still with the person. that is unequivocal grounds for breaking up in my opinion. i can't see myself tolerating that sort of behavior.

Min, there are many "truths"....I think the answer is relative to which "truth" is in question.

Tinkerbell, the OVERWHELMING response by the radio listeners was: If the cheating occured once and telling the innocent party would hurt them or create a mess, then don't speak of it.

well if i was the cheater, no way in HELL would i tell about it years after the fact. but if i was the one who was cheated on, you can bet the farm i'd want to know.

yup. but if i was the sort of person who would cheat on someone i dont think i'd worry about a piddling thing like standards, now would i?
