Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Be sure to use your own words. Do not use memorized examples.

There are certain considerations or factors that everyone takes into account in a
relationship
. People may look for honesty, altruism, understanding, loyalty, being thoughtful etc! Everyone would more or less wish that the
person
s
/
he is dealing with, has some of these virtues above. Putting them in an order according to their importance,

can be very subjective and relative. When someone asks him
/
herself the question "What do I consider to be the most important thing in my
relationship
?" the answer depends on a lot of factors
such
as how his
/
her earlier relationships were. After stating that everyone's opinion can be different about
this
, for me honesty,

, always telling the
truth
is the most important consideration in a
relationship

he is hiding something or is afraid of telling me something. In any

of mine, I would wish that

I'm dealing with is honest. Even though s

he'd better tell me the

and not lie about it. Later
