Some people think that telling the truth is not always essential. It is necessary to tell lies sometimes. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is not always essential, to tell the truth, as there are situations where lying would be a better decision.

Although

telling the fact is what people pursue as an honourable tradition, I agree that untruth provides the best solutions

Suggestion

for

some circumstances. The strongest justification 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 truthfulness. If someone cooks something on their own just for you, and it just doesn’t taste good

then

perhaps it’s better to lie and say it tastes good. Since our childhood, we have been taught to spare others’ feelings, rather than speaking the straightforward certainty 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 candour 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.
