It is often said that white-lie is needed for sure in people’ lives. However, in case of one wants to build relationship with others, honesty is the best policy. There are two specific reasons for this: good relationships can be built only by based on the faith between two people. Also, telling lie can cause a problem that was not expected.
To begin with, true relationship cannot be built without a foundation of believing. Moreover, by telling the truth, said foundation can be built. In other words, only by telling the truth, people can build valuable relationships. For example, according to the study conducted by Korea Times in 2009, 70% of people think the most important aspect which is needed to any relationship – whichever relationship that is- was ‘honesty’. They said relationship without telling the truth cannot last long. This study shows that how important people think about being honest, in the other words, telling the truth.
In addition, telling lie can cause problems. People tend to think small lies do not harm anybody. This is why they lie about something specially, when they want to avoid the facing problems. However, it can cause even bigger problems which was one did not expect. To illustrate, few years ago, my cousin had a fight in his school. He came back home and told parents that he was mugged. He lied to his parents because he did not want to be scolded. However, his parents called school and school reported this case to the police. The situation was much worse when he realized his mistake. He had to scolded by teacher and police as well as his parents.
To conclude, to have a good relationship with others, it is crucial to be remain honest. This is because only through the honesty, one can build true relationship. Furthermore, unexpected problems can be occured by telling lie. |
