it is tempting to believe that it is always the most appropriate to tell people the truth to maintain relationships. However, it is too absolute to be considered to be true after thinking rationally and critically.

First, the fundamental base of any relationship should always be consideration of others’ feelings.Telling the truth sometimes can sometimes undermine a relationship because of failing judging whether they will feel bad before doing it, even though you are just being honest and have a good intention. This is because of the difference in either personal value of people in different generations, genders, and roles, or levels of mental vulnerability towards a certain aspect. For the former, take an example of my mother and my grandmother. One day, my mother wanted to buy a down coat for my grandmother near winter. the one is of a famous brand- Canada goose, and is excellent in keeping warmness, which also means costs a lot. In this case, she know if she tell my grandmother the actual price, she will certainly not accept it, because it challenges the value of money of her formed in years of living economically.Therefore she made up the price in order to guarantee the better physical health of my grandmother. The latter one, which is basically caused by various characters, can be explained by the those with depressive disorder. Those people are more mentally fragile due to miserable experiences that the normal do not get through. The same sad thing that are acceptable to us may be disruptive to their protection of mind. Hence, we really should take such factor into account before determining to tell truths.

However, it is still reasonable to say that most of times, we are supposed to obey the principle of being honest, which is can be guide our relation to the right direction. To be specific, telling the truth may be always not favorable to an established relationship, but not telling the can not even form a relationship. No one wants to be familiar with someone hypocritical. For example, I have a popular in school with lots of friends around not because my gorgeous appearance, or great economic condition, but because of my attitude of honest . it does not means I tell truths forever, but I do know when to make things up for better consequences.

In sum, the most consideration is not treating others honestly. Instead, it should be considering their feelings, though being honest is the what should be implemented most of times.
