Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
We were all told by our parents that lying was a bad thing at childhood, but when we grew up we also knew that sometimes we had to tell a lie avoiding worse consequence. So, some people have an idea that sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. From my perspective, I think they are right. And I have some reasons to receive this idea.
First of all, telling the truth sometimes will bring us bad consequence. You can try to image that one good person was chased by a group of bad people, and if he or she been caught, he or she would be killed by them. In addition, this poor guy ran into your house and hided. Then,Bad people asked you “where the person go?”. Would you tell them the truth? Everyone knows that lying is a bad thing. But if you didn’t lie to the bad people, you would make a good person get killed. I would lie to them if this is a real thing. Because I think a person’s life is more valuable than the truth at that time
Secondly, not to be honest sometimes make people comfortable. For example, if your friend was diagnosed with cancer and the doctor told you that he or she would die within one year. Would you told him he truth? I think I would choose to told him that I don’t know and let someone else to told him the truth. Because this can reduce the sense of guilt of telling cruel things to others.
From what I have discussed above, I can draw the conclusion that telling the truth is not always the right choice. Because sometimes the truth is cruel and it would bring us a bad consequence even worse than lying.

So, some people have an idea that sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. From my perspective, I admit they are right. And I have some reasons to receive this idea.
First of all, telling the truth sometimes will bring us sinful consequences. You can try to imagine that one good person was chased by a group of bad people, and if he been caught, they would murder him. In addition, this poor guy ran into your house and hid. Then, Bad people asked you, “where the person go?”. Would you tell them the truth? Everyone knows that lying is an immoral thing. But if you didn’t lie to the bad people, you would make a fine person get killed. I would lie to them if this terrible thing really happened on me.Because I consider that a person’s life is more valuable than the truth at that time.
Secondly, dishonesty sometimes make people comfortable. For example, if your friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer and the doctor told you that he would die within one year. Would you reveal him the truth?As for me, I would choose to tell him that I don’t know and let someone else to inform him the unpleasant truth,for this can reduce the sense of guilt of telling cruel things to others.
From what I have discussed above, I can draw the conclusion that telling the truth is not always the right choice. Because sometimes the truth is cruel as well as it would bring us unhappy consequences even worse than lying.

Moreover, this poor guy ran into your house and hid. Then, Bad people asked you, “where the person go?”. Would you tell them the truth? Everyone knows that lying is an immortal thing.
