▶ Your Answer : Some people think it is possible to always be honest to your friends. However in my opinion, it is impossible. There are two reasons. First there are always excused situations. Second saying honestly could affect you and your friend's relationship. To begin with, the exception is always existed. To explain, telling white lies is sometimes useful to your life. Because there are not always good happenings. For example, one of the white lying, Placebo effect is well-known method to deal with people. Briefly, Placebo effect is cheering the people like telling white lies rather than telling reality of the situation. I used this effect to my best friend Jane. She and me were high school friend, and she had trouble with her singing ability at that time. She really wanted to sing beautifully because of her future. Even though her singing was not good at all, I was always encouraging her. I also went to a vocal train center with her rather than I told a truth that she was a terrible singer. Therefore she practiced so hard due to my cheerful mentions. Now she has a musical major and a great trait of singing songs. On top of that saying truthful could affect the relationship between you and your friends. To be specific, honestly talking would hurt your friend's mind unintentionally. Of course you don't want to hurt your friends' heart, however just telling their drawbacks can remain to their mind and be a trauma later. Your friends will not open their minds later and will not talk serious worries to you, because you give hurtful sayings before. For instance, according the psychology books, people tend to talk their troubles to friends who encourage them not telling the truth or give the advice to them. People have sensitive feelings, so we should recognize it. To sum up, excepted situations are prevalent in the society. Moreover, the human relation must have affections by always being honest. In this regard, I believe that it is impossible to always be honest to your friends. |
