Band 7.5

Some people believe that it is best for people to be honest at all times. Others, however, believe that it is occasionally necessary to lie. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

#people #times
Nowadays, society might be more sensible than it was before, so
that is
 why folks choose to hide the
truth
 from their loved ones,
due to
 the
fact
 that they are afraid of hurting their feelings,
however
 Hiding the
truth
 all the time can cause a lot of troubles and even break up the trust that people have for their inner circle. In
this
 essay, I will discuss the negative and positive sides of lying, and how can affect other's people sentiments. In my opinion, not being honest all the time can help you avoid hurting people,
due to
 the
fact
 that telling the
truth
 is not always pretty, and can be really harmful to some folks who are delicate and cannot bear the truthfulness about something.
For instance
, mothers are not always honest with their children, owning to the
fact
 that they are scared of not hurting the children's feelings because they are small and some things they do not always understand so
that is
 why if you lie rarely is not considered bad.
On the other hand
, not being honest with your inner circle can make the community grow apart from their loved ones,
due to
 the lack of trust.
For example
, always telling the
truth
 to your partner or friends can make the relationship stronger than before because
this
 way you can see if you can trust someone with your problems and beliefs and make the bond more intimate and reliable.
That is
 why you should always be honest with your inner circle. In conclusion, it depends on each person if they are willing to be honest all the time or not , owning to the
fact
 that each person is responsible for their actions and they should acknowledge the consequences of each step they took, no matter if is bad or good.
