It is often said that ‘white lie’ is necessary in many circumstances. However, honesty should take priority of all kinds of relationship that people have. There are two specific reasons for this: only the honesty can build trust. Also, dishonesty sometimes can cause problems.
To begin with, the most important foundation of any relationship is trusty. Without confidence, real relationship cannot be built between people. The real trust cannot be built easily. Moreover, after losing one’s credit, it is even more difficult to rebuilt. So people should not risk their relationships by telling a lie. For example, I had a best friend. We were very close since we were 10 years old. However, I realized that she kept lying to me. Even though it did not cause any problems, I thought I cannot share my thoughts with her because she seemed untrustworthy. I was disappointed in her. After that, it was impossible for me to rebuild a relationship with her as before. I realized that honesty between people is the most important factor in every relationship.
In addition, dishonesty can cause many problems. At a first glance, lie seems to solve the problem. This is why many people lie to their counterparts to avoid criticism. However, in the end, lie cause even bigger problems because normally, people have to lie again and again until they conceal their problems. To illustrate, few years ago, one of my cousins fought with his friend at school. He came back home and lied to his parents because he did not want to be scolded. He said that he was mugged by bullies. Angrily, his parents called the police and school. Realizing his big mistakes, the boy confessed of his lie. If he had told the truth in a first place, this commotion might not happened.
To conclude, telling the truth is the most crucial factor in all relationships. This is because credit between people cannot be built by its own. Furthermore, it take too much effort and time to rebuild the one. Also, dishonesty can cause the problem that nobody expected. |
