There is an argument
over whether or not it is better not to tell the truth. Some people believe
that lying is always not good and people must tell the truth in any case. My
view, however, is that it needs it is needed
to tell a lie sometimes and there are two
reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
To begin with, there
are many cases that it is better not to not
know the truth because lying can be helpful to encourage someone who are
is in despair. To be specific, there is a term
called ‘White Lying’. It is commonly used in hospitals and its effect is great.
Doctors do not let a severe patience patient
know the truth about the patience’s patient’s
health and use ‘White Lying’, saying that the
health he would be better soon. This is
because the truth that the patience patient
would not be cured can make the patience feel a
sense of despair and give up his own life. This is actually helpful to patients
who are suffering from severe diseases, but do
not know about the truth of their health.
On top of that,
telling the truth can break the relationship
with someone who listened to the truth what I said. Of course, lying can
break belief and relationship, but telling the truth can also be able to
damage to the relationship between teller and listener. I had an
experience which can be a great example of this. When I was a freshmen
student freshman, I was extremely excited to
meet new friends. I met Suzy and Rachel at the university dance club and we
became best friends with the same interest for dance. Then one day, Suzy told
me that she thinks thought Rachel’s dance
is not good. When I was asked from Rachel about her dance, I told her the truth
that I heard from Suzy. Eventually, Rachel was disappointed in Suzy and Suzy was disappointed me, so our
friendship ended at that time. (이건 사실을 말하는 것과
달리 남의 비밀을 누설하는 것과 더 연관이 된 것 같아요)
In conclusion, I strongly believe that we need to tell lies sometimes because lying can be better helpful to
encourage someone. Also, telling the truth can damage to the people’s relationships.
