    Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship between people.

    Honesty is one of the most precious virtue of human beings,and someone take it for granted that always telling the truth is the most important  consideration in any relationship between people.But I disagree with this statement.

    Sometimes people tell lies for the purpose of protecting other people.Revealing the truth can be very cruel to someone,in this case,maybe telling a lie to him/her is a better choice.Because this lie will keep him/her from hurting by some brutal truth and eventually this lie will improve the relationship between each other, we call this lie poaple tell out of kindness as “white lie”.For example,one day you beloved friend asks you if  she has  gotten a bit slimmer recently,you know recently she has tried very hard to reduce her weight and went back and forth between her dormitory and gym every day,but you still could’t see any change  on her figure.At that moment,you tend to tell her a white lie rather than tell her the brutal truth directly,you will say,”Oh,darling,it make a difference and you look prettier now!”Your kind lie cheers her up and encourages her to keep working.Meanwhile, your relationship is consolidated.

    Second,it is unavoidable for people to tell some lies.That is because liying is the machinism which is supposed to protect us and help us better survive,rejecting such natural machinism  compeletly is unrealistic.For instance,in some social situations,it’s impossible for  everyone  to show his happiness and open his mind to us heatly and honestily.Sometimes  we have difficulty judging whether this guy is trustworthy,so at this time we tell lies for the purpose of protecting ourselves.If we always tell the sincere words from our deepest heart to every person and neglect to do some prevention, we’re easily be used by some bad guys.

    Taking into consideration all of the factors discussed above,sometiomes it’s a wise choice for us not to tell the truth for the purpose of protecting other people  and ourselves.

Because this lie will keep him/her from hurting by some brutal truth and eventually this lie will improve the relationship between each other. We call this lie people tell out of kindness as “white lie”. For example, one day your beloved friend asks you if she has gotten a bit slimmer recently. You know recently she has tried very hard to reduce her weight and went back and forth between her dormitory and gym every day, but you still couldn’t see any changes on her figure.

You will say,” Oh, darling, it makes a difference and you look prettier now!” Your kind lie cheers her up and encourages her to keep working. Also, your relationship is consolidated.

    Second, it is unavoidable for people to tell some lies. That is because liying is the mechanism which helps us to protect ourselves and better survive, rejecting such natural mechanism completely is unrealistic. For instance, in some social situations, it’s impossible for everyone to show his happiness and open his mind to us heartly and honestly. Sometimes we have difficulty judging whether this guy is trustworthy, so at this time we tell lies for the purpose of protecting ourselves. If we always tell sincere words from our deepest heart to every person and neglect to do some prevention, we’re easily be used by some bad guys.
