TruthTrust is one of the important things that
we human
s havebeingbeenpursuitpursuiting for so long.
TruthTrust makes people feel secure and informed of the things happening around
them . Thus, being honest is extremely vital in sustaining relationships. Of course, lies can work well in
case of some special situation
s .
Nobody likes to be betrayed. Living in the world, we need to build relationship with different peoples
; our family members, our friends, our colleagues and our partners. No matter what kind of relationship we start to construct, we expect others to be honest. This is the elementary virtue. Imagin

speakspoke ill of you when you are absent, what
willwould you feel? Imagining some of your colleagues who treat you well at work refuse to help you after they promise to do so, what
willwould you feel? Imagining some of your family members who often care about you
, steal your money at home, what
willwould you feel? Most of us will become frustrated and depressed. We might no longer believe the world and block ourselves in the state of isolation. Such
betraybetrayalareis destructive and the effect can
last longbe long lasting . So in terms with well developed relationship, we must take honesty into consideration seriously. Few of us can afford the great price.
However, always telling the truth does not mean present the fact as it is. One can make some little change
s in order to make it more acceptable. For example, if a girl asks you whether she is fat or not, you should not simply answer that she is not in a good shape. Even though it is the truth, it hurts. Thus we should put it in another way like you look gorgeous and it is better if you keep doing exercise. And we can do it together!
TruthsThe truth isare not always welcome,
but try to adjust it. Suppose someone has been infected with some rare disease and
he is going to die. When asked about how long he will live, you should not directly tell him the truth. Just encourage him and accompany him. Maybe there will be a miracle. But, once he knows the truth,
hardly can he survivinghe will just give up on living normally .
In sum, telling the truth is indispensable in our daily life. It helps to attain a lifelong relationship. However, some white lies are also acceptable occasionally. We should learn to protect the people we love and make full use of the truth to provide them with a comfortable and sound life.
