Question 23 Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth

Question 23

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.


Answer

I agree with the statement that people do not always tell the truth. They should sometimes select ether the truth or a lie by considering the circumstances. They are members in society. To live in society, they sometimes conceal the truth. There are three of the reasons why I think that in the following sentences

The first reason is that telling the truth is not always good for a person who werewas told it. People always have to consider the person’s mind. If a person are told the truth, he/she will be shocked. The shock may give a bad effect to him/her if it is very intensive. People have to select the time when they say the truth. After the person becomes calm, people can tell the truth. He/she will be able to acquire the truth by that time.

The second reason is that telling the truth makes the people's status worse. If somebody gets a million dollars by a lottery, he/she should conceal it. Usually, people envy that. They will think they want the money. In the worst case, somebody might conspire to do a wrongdoing such as robbing the money. People have to defend themselves. Not to tell the truth is one of the means.

The third reason is that telling the truth is sometimes rude. People can not build a good relationship with other people if they always tell the truth. For example, if you think the friend is very ugly, you can not say that. It is common sense to live in the society. Otherwise, you will directly say that the friend is ugly. This behavior is extremely rude. Any people can not make a friend if their character is like that. This behavior is too immature.

In conclusion, telling the truth is not always good. Occasionally, people have to conceal the truth. It is good for their friends, or themselves. They can live in society smoothly by not telling the truth.
