Telling the truth at all times is not essential. On some occasions it is necessary to tell lies, and it is wrong to tell the truth. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

It is not always essential to tell the

truth

, as there are situations where lying would be a better decision.

Although

telling the

truth

is what people pursue as an

tradition, I agree that untruth provides the best solutions on some occasions in the real-life contexts. The strongest justifications for lying is that they are regularly done for sympathy and goodwill. There are occasions in life on which people have to conceal part of the

truth

or even twist facts.

For instance

, many patients being diagnosed with cancers receive encouragement from

doctors, which

say that they will be certainly recovered from their illness. In those circumstances, the falsehood can be used as a placebo to give the patient a peaceful frame of mind, thereby participating in treatment activities.

Although

falsehood appears to be morally wrong at

first

sight, it is indeed the right ethical thing to do. Another excuse for not being truthful all the time is because white lies are harmless and can be socially beneficial.

For example

, sometimes people tell a lie to prioritize another person’s feelings over

perhaps it’s better to lie and say it tastes good. Since our childhood, we

to spare others’ feelings, rather than speaking the straightforward

that can hurt others’ feelings.

However

, While telling a lie is accepted or even recommended in some situations, Honesty is still a virtue that we should all embrace. There is little doubt that a man who is known for his

is more likely to earn respect than a man lying habitually. In conclusion,

although

honesty is still being regarded as a core virtue in many traditions, telling a lie is accepted or even recommended in some situations.
