These days, honesty is getting more and more important in friendship. As a simple reason, honesty shows your enthusiasm, optimism, credibility and so forth. It also makes you more reliable and dependable in your friends’ eyes, which can build up stable relationship and enlarge the scale of the circle of your friends. However, nothing is absolute, so is this! Telling the truth can also bring about unexpected problems, which can trigger miserable consequences. And now let me tell something about it!
Honesty is necessary. If a person hardly ever tells truth, how can he or she be believed by others? I have a classmate who comes from a rural area, which makes him really shy and not sociable so he is often isolated in our class. But he came out to be a really good student and he got an amazing score in an exam. That makes us more willing to ask him questions and the glamorous trait fascinates us to interact with him. However, perhaps he was not satisfied how he was treated when he had came at the beginning of the semester, he usually gave us false answers or just said,” I do not know , either.”, which is not the truth at all. Several times later we got really angry with him and we all stopped talking with him. So you see, how pivotal role honesty plays in interactions!
As I have said in the first paragraph, nothing is absolute! Envisage such a plot. You are very hate smoking, while your friend is enjoying inhaling a cigarette just near where you are sitting, how would you say? If you stop him seriously, by saying,” Inhaling is harmful to your health and so is to mine, stop please! ”, it is not a pleasant work for both you two. Commonly, you would exalt his pose when he is smoking. ”You look very cool with a cigarette in your mouth!” Perhaps the instance is not very appropriate, because I just do not want to make an example knew to everybody. Is it OK to tell a dying patient his or her real symptom? Isn’t it better for them to live hopefully, optimistically, enthusiastically? Sometime truth is not welcomed and lying is also indispensible!
It is really hard to say whether truth is always acceptable because sometimes truth makes no sense and they can cause problems, but truth is also the premise of friendship. So what is my viewpoint? Just the saying,” Nothing is absolute!”
