    Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship between people. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    It is hard to deny that being honest is the prerequisite for a good relationship, and such a fact leads impressionable people to generate the opinion that we must tell the truth to people with all kinds of relationships. However, as far as maintenance of relationship and self-protection are concerned, I strongly hold that it is not essential to always tell the truth in some kinds of relationships between people.

    To begin with, telling the truth can sometimes compromise a relationship. It is human nature that showing their advantages and disguising their drawbacks in front of others. Were their defects disclosed by others, they would feel upset and even resentful. In reality, telling the truth is not always necessary. When one of our close friends lost a competition and felt depressed, our words of encouragement and consolation can ease him or her. Pointing out their flaws directly will only make them much more upset. Under such circumstances, making up a reasonable lie can let our friends feel warm and respected, thus deepening the friendship with us, while telling the truth will hurt it.

    Additionally, never lying can sometimes trouble people and even threat to life. Criminality is not hard to see in the current world, especially in some developing countries or regions. The criminals, who are hungry for a large amount of money, often target the rich people, plotting to make a fortune through a theft. Not seldom can we hear from news reporting that a rich man was killed in his house with all his money stolen. Therefore, the rich need to keep a low profile about their possession. If they faithfully tell the others about how rich they are, then the fact may spread out and be learned from the criminals, which is a threat to their safety. This is exactly the reason why people should not always tell the truth in any relationship.

    In a nutshell, I maintain that we should not always tell the truth in any relationship, since it can both hurt our relationships as well as trap us into negative situations.
