Always telling the truth in the most
important consideration for a good
relationship
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Always
telling the truth is the most important consideration in any
relationship. Use specific reasons and examples to support your
answer.
The traditional virtue of telling the truth in all situations is increasingly
doubted by many people in today’s world. Many believe that telling the
truth is not always the best policy when dealing with people.
Moreover, the line of a “truth” is becoming much vaguer. In my
opinion, I agree with the statement, even there are some advantages
of telling a lie. This essay will explore the influence of telling the truth
to relationships between people.
We all understand that often the truth is offending and may not be a
very nice thing to both hearer and speaker. Lies or white lies often
have their advantages, especially in this industrializing world. The
manipulation of white lies is the most obvious in the world of business.
How many times have we heard that some product is “the finest” or
“the cheapest”? How many times have we heard about products that
have such “magical functions”? Advertising is about persuasion, and
many would agree that if a company is willing to tell the absolute truth
about its products, no one would be interested in even having a look
at them.
