▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that it is not necessary
to always be honest thier friends. However, in my opinion, it is better to be
honest for my friends and also myself. This is mainly due to trust and less
stressful.
Frist of all, people can trust their
friends who are always honest. Suppose that your friend lies you. Would it be
possible to trust the friend? The answer will be no. The only key to trust
friends would be to become a honest person. For example, I am always honest to
my friends. All my friends trust me. However, a fridend of mine lies sometimes.
So, most of my friends do not trust him at all. Even more, some of them left
him because he was not honest for them. Without being always honest, I might
have broken most of my friends.
On top ot that, it is less stressful for
people because people do not need to make an excuse. Frankly this issue is
actually like a double-edged sword. It is also true that not to be honest could
be better for a case. However, I believe the advantages of being honest far
outweigh those of not being honest concerning the fact that people get stresses
from making excuses. For instance, there was a survey conducted by Seoul
National University with students as repondents. The purpose of the survey was
to understand the consensus view of being honest in today's society.
The majority of respondents ranked being
honest over not being honest. An overwhelming 84% responded that people feel
better when they say true to their friends. The reason was that lies make
people be uncomfortable. This survey proves that people have a negative view of
not being honest.
To sum up, being honest is important
because people are tend to believe their friends and reduce stresses. In this
regard, I firmly believe that not being honest is an worst way for the reasons
I mentioned.
