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 considered that telling the truth in any situation should be a necessity, as some people think that it is an

honorable

not disposed to cheat or defraud; not deceptive or fraudulent

honourable

decision.

However

, many people are

in

Suggestion

of

the opinion that in some cases, lying should be the only option and honesty should not be that essential. I completely agree with

this

statement, since integrity and realism can sometimes bring nothing but damage to people.

To begin

with, telling a falsehood can have a serious impact on other people, both positive and negative, that can tremendously damage the relationship between people. To elaborate, refusing to be truthful to another person can be justified by the fact that it is regularly done for sympathy and compassion.

For instance

, a couple telling their relatives that they had a secret wedding to escape the obligation to invite them. In these circumstances, the falsehood can save a relationship between two people,

thus

, not causing the pain to others.

Secondly

, another reason to not be truthful is to avoid misunderstanding between people, as it often causes discussions. Another excuse is that lies are harmless and can be socially beneficial.

For example

, some people lie to prioritize someone's feelings over truth and

therefore

make a statement based on what they think is right. If someone asks your opinion

on

of

their personality and character, it is sometimes better to tell a lie rather than be sincere,

hence

, making them feel better about themselves. To sum up,

although

falsehood appears to be morally wrong at

first

, it is indeed the right ethical thing to do in some cases.

However

, I believe that honesty is still a virtue that we must embrace.
