the traditional virtue of telling the truth in all situations is increasingly doubted by many in today’s world. many believe that telling the truth is not always the best policy when dealing with people. moreover, the line of a “truth” is becoming more and more vague. this essay will explore the importance of telling the truth in relationships between people.
we all understand that often the truth is offending and may not be a very nice thing to both hear or say. lies or white lies often have their advantages. the manipulation of white lies is the most obvious the business world. how many times have we heard that some product is “the finest” or “the cheapest”? how many times have we heard that products have such and such “magical functions”? advertising is about persuasion, and many would agree that if a company is to tell the absolute truth about it’s products, no one would be interested in even having a look at the products.
the same logic applies to human relationships. if your friend had worn a newly purchased dress on her birthday and energetically asked you if it was a worthy buy, would you freely express your opinion that you had never seen a dress as the one she’s currently wearing? and spoil her birthday? unarguably, hiding(entirely or particially) the truth in some situations can be quite handy indeed. confrontations and disputes can seemingly be avoided.
however, there is always the risk factor of the truth emerging sooner or later when telling an untruth. the basic trust in any relationships(businessman/customer, friends, parents/children) will be blotched, and would have an impact on the future relationship between both parties. the story of the “the boy who cried wolf” fully illustrates the consequenes of telling untruths. no one will believe you when you’re telling the truth. your word will have no weighting.
in addition, another “bad factor” of telling untruths is that you have absolutely no control over when the truth(of previous untruths) will emerge. untruths breed pain in both parties: tears when the truth is uncovered after a period of time; fear and the burden of sharing a “secret”. in the long run, it seems that hiding the truth is not beneficial to either party.
everyone hates betrayal. even if it is the trend to occasionally hide the truth in relationships, it is strongly recommended that not to follow that trend as the risk and the consequences of the truth unfolded overwhelms the minimal advantages one can derive from not telling the truth. afterall, it is understood that relationships are founded on “trust” which goes hand in hand with “truth”. indeed telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship between people. always.

說真話的傳統美德在所有情況下,許多在當今世界越來越懷疑。許多人認爲,說實話並不總是最好的政策與人打交道時。此外,“真相”的線變得越來越模糊。這篇文章將探討的重要性說真話的人之間的關係。
我們都知道真相是違規,可能不是一個非常好的事情都聽或說。謊言或善意的.謊言往往有其優勢。善意的謊言的操縱是最明顯的商業世界。有多少次我們聽說一些產品是“最好的”或“最便宜”?有多少次我們聽說產品某某“神奇功能”?廣告是說服,許多人會認爲如果一個公司是告訴絕對真理的產品,甚至沒有人會有興趣看一下產品。
同樣的邏輯也適用於人際關係。如果你的朋友穿了新買的衣服在她的生日和積極問你如果這是一個值得買,你能自由表達你的觀點,你從沒見過她現在穿的衣服嗎?、慣她的生日?毋庸置疑,隱藏真相(完全或particially)在某些情況下確實會很方便。衝突和爭端看似可以避免。
然而,總會有真相遲早新興的風險因素時告訴一個謊言。基本的信任在任何關係(商人/客戶、朋友、父母/孩子)會有污漬的,並將影響未來兩黨之間的關係。“男孩叫狼來了的故事”充分說明了conse quenes告訴謊言。沒有人會相信你,當你說真話。你的話沒有權重。
此外,另一個“不利因素”告訴謊言是你絕對沒有控制當真相(以前的謊言)。謊言品種在雙方痛苦:眼淚當真相揭露了一段時間後,恐懼和共享一個“祕密”的負擔。從長遠來看,似乎隱藏真相併不有利於任何一方。
每個人都討厭背叛。即使是偶爾隱藏真相的趨勢關係,強烈建議不遵循這一趨勢的風險和後果真相展開了最小優勢可以源自不說實話。畢竟,據悉,關係是建立在“信任”與“真相”。事實上說實話是最重要的考慮因素在人們之間的任何關係。總是如此。
