▶ Your Answer :Some people might say that people always have to tell the truth. However, in my opinion, it causes adverse effect on them because they would be gotten bad reputations, and someone might be wounded heart. To begin with, telling the truth excessively might give big psychological injury to others. Truth may be not always good. Some people was shocked by honest saying although it is really truth. A behavior to maintain good relationships with others may break relationships which keep for a long time. So, when telling the truth we must be cautious. For example, I will take an example myself, when I was in University, I had a very closed friend, my roommate. He asked to me about his appearance. In that period, I tend to speak immediately, not think one more, so I told him frankly that his appearance is not attractive. After that he was very depressed for a while, I felt really sorry about him and regret it still now. As a result, I decided to not speak without twice thinking when telling the truth because it might spoil their precious bond.
On top of that, a person who always tells the truth may be given bad reputations. Not concerning about other's mind, just telling the truth would be very rude behavior. They are often considered to ruthless and impertinent people. If they want to retain good reputation continuously, it is important that keeping uncomfortable secrets themselves. For instance, there was a survey conducted by psychology majors students to 200 of University students as respondents. This survey asked whether they want to or to be always honest friends. An overwhelming 80% of responded that they are less likely to prefer to always frank speakers. Also, they says that sometimes people need to white lies. Even, some people replied that to give good impressions white lies are essential. To sum up, people have to refrain from telling the truth grossly, taking consideration about the possibility of offering deep scar and receiving bad reputation. In this regard, there are other consideration in relationship between people. |
