Jews. This also often happened in the American Civil War (1861 –
1865) when the Confederacy army soldiers hide the black slaves that
they arrested.
Finally, a white lie of the doctor can help the patient more optimistic
and can recover fast. This is a real case: A doctor is treating for a
cancer patient. The doctor knows that the cancer is untreatable and
the patient only have one month left to live. However the doctor
decides to say a white lie: “Your cancer is difficult to treat. But it is still
curable. You must spend a lot of times with your family, having good,
healthy diet, read and watch lots of comedies and laugh a lot. You
also shouldn’t think weary and pessimistic and also usually let your
brain to rest. Remember my sayings? Hope that you will recover!” So
the patient is really optimistic about his living chance. After three
weeks, amazingly, he recovered and can live for ten years more. That
is how a white lie helpful.
To sum up, to be honest is very good and is essential in a lot of
cases. However, in some cases, telling a white lie is fine and
necessary. However, after telling a white lie, in a suitable time, you
should tell the truth in order to maintain relation and cooperative. I
agree with the statement of the topic and think that it’s fine to tell a
white lie sometime.
