Thriruvalluvar And Ann Landers

I came across this quote apparently by Ann Landers "The naked truth is always better than the best dressed lie". And that is in such contrast with the "kurals", especially the first two, in http://www.valaitamil.com/veracity-172.html.

Thiruvalluvar was a person who believed that truth is secondary to being nice. A well-intentioned lie was always preferred to a harsh truth. 

Now, why do Ann Landers and Thiruvalluvar say such opposite things? Landers must have had a strong Saturn and Thiruvalluvar, a strong Venus. Saturn is thoughtful, while Venus cares about maintaining image. Saturn lives in the abstract world of thought, while Venus is about the here and now sensual world. Saturn is about renunciation and seeking truth while Venus is about seeking material comforts and being diplomatic. 

Harischandra might have been another strong Saturn since he refused to lie no matter what it cost him and his family. 

I have always wondered what might have been the discussion been like if Harischandra and Thiruvalluvar ever happened to have a discussion.

Of course, there is no right or wrong. Each person leans towards one end of the truth - diplomacy continuum depending on what he is comfortable with.

J (as in MBTI) people are usually very touchy and not very pleasant while P's are the opposite. The latter are very ambitious. J is caused by Saturn while P is caused by Venus.

A friend sent me this link on Ti and Te (as in MBTI): http://www.celebritytypes.com/blog/2013/04/why-te-is-inductive-and-ti-is-deductive/. I guess I am Te.
