It is often said that the most important consideration in any relationship is telling the truth because they believe that it is better to tell the truth in any situation. However, I firmly believe that it is necessary to tell a lie in some occasions. In this essay, I will briefly state two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, we all need to know that there are many ways to respond to other people’s request. It is obvious that telling lies will cause many people to dishonorable reputations. However, it is even worse to always tell the truth without any exaggeration. The example below will support my opinion. It was about several years ago when I was an elementary student. There was a boy named Tim who would always looked and see saw everything as it was without any lies. As he always did, he would tell told the truth to every student. One day he told bullied an ugly girl' appearance ,who had a burned scar, that she looked ugly. This caused her to cry and get into depression. Seeing this I realized that lies are sometimes needed for other people’s heart.
In addition, lies are needed for some patient’s relief and recovery. It is obvious that words and languages can affect people’s feelings and minds. Thus, it is better to say positive words to people for everybody rather than saying the truth which could hurt them. For example, there was a kid who had cancer since he was young. He would always be depressed and unhappy about his life which was different from normal healthy people. However, there was a doctor who would always tell the kid that he could be recovered even though it was a false fact at that time. Later on, I heard the news that the kid was recovered without any surgeries, but as a miracle. Regarding what the doctor did, I think the positive lies cured him.
In sum, I could see that false words and statements can cure others without surgeries that could cause pain and could avoid causing people’s depression. As I do not have anything to help, but because I have a desire to help, I would use my mouth to help people in a easy way. |
