Ok, let's say that someone you trust (Be it a friend, parent, sibling, relative, partner, spouse or whatever) lied to you about something important and you found out about it. What would you do?

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.
Depends on the lie and why. If they did it out of misguided concern then I would have no trouble forgiving them. Same if they were just protecting themselves with lies. However If they did it deliberately to help themselves or worse, to intentionally leave me in the dark, that's something else entirely. If it was family or a close friend I would talk through it, make sure we could move past it even if I would never really forget and it would always have an influence on how I treated/saw them affterwards. However if it was an acquaintance I would talk about it but likely have very little to do with them afterwards.
Basically it all depends on the circumstances.

And this might only apply for me. When i notice lies, i don't rat them out straight away most times. I let it carry on for a while and sometimes i don't even mention i noticed it.
It gives me better perspective of the person sometimes.

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.
Usually I'd forgive, but of course I would want to know why was that person lying. It's hard to trust someone who has lied about something important without any good reason.

My sister pulled this on me and I forgave her pretty quickly but she and I both know that I won't forget so easily. Trust is built up over time and a lie is like a giant reset button that takes you back to the beginning. They have to earn back your trust all over again and it takes awhile to really trust wholeheartedly like you used to.
