Both, like finding out Christopher Walken was married. That was depressing but at least I could stop thinking of ways to woo him.

The truth can be liberating or depressing, depending!

the truth is mostly depressing for me...

The truth will set you free everytime.

Christopher Walken is married(?!), oh man, now I'm depressed... The truth is often depressing, but I wouldn't have it any other way - I need to know!

It will ultimately make you feel better

Today, it's made me depressed

I think it depends what the situation is.

It depends on wat tha truth is and what its about.

You may feel better about confessing, but the reaction you get may cause you to fall into a deep depression.

neither err.... (sp?)

The truth? You can't HANDLE the truth!

sets you free and makes you depressed.. or it may set you free and make you overjoyed, depends on the circumstances.

both and

Both.

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...

Personally, free in the majority of situations

Similar to Anne Heche, it goes both ways.

Yeaaaaaaah! Starbuck was back!! :D

The absence of searching will set you free.

Ok, okeydoke describes it well. I think it always sets you free, but sometmes makes you depressed.

That kind of depends on the particular truth in question, now doesn't it?

I confused my philosophy teacher because I said I'd always want to know the truth however devestating the knowledge would be. Small truths might make you happy, as may small lies, but the huge truths I think make you depressed because it means everything you've believed up to the point of finding the truth was a lie. But that's only if the truth is different to how you believed anyway. I guess it depends whether or not it's an expected truth, and whether or not that truth is something you want to know or not. It's a hard one, there is no absolute answer (I saw the question and thought 'easy-peasy, it makes you depressed' but I was only thinking about some truths). I find, personally, more truths make me feel depressed.
