Telling the truth or not - review it pls! :) Telling the truth or not is a serious question which has been discussed amid groups of ethics, theology or psychology since the first century of history AD. It is a question that has not been yet answered satisfyingly and which is likely to be anytime. As I see it, telling the truth depends on the circumstances. Although it is not useful in any time, I believe we should attempt to be honest. It is an undeniable fact amid psychologists that one of the most important possession of a person is a relationship. There is a high extent of stories in which people speak about how truth made their relationship better or how hiding truth destroyed it. Considering these stories, the fundamental of a relationship seems to be the truth in every circumstances. There is a second part of people's life that is worth mentioning: personality. It is a common knowledge that personality improves by going through difficult situations. Of course, it is inevitable for improvement that the person be inclined to adjust to the situation and try to exploit all of the possible opportunities that are available. Therefore, it has benefits when people tell the truth for their chief in the event of having done a mistake. In addition, people in this case stand less chance to be hired. Some people argue that telling the truth can destroy both relationships and personalities. They point out the fact that lots of people divorce after having told what they really thought about their partner or having cheated their partner. Another example they show is the surprise. There is no doubt that when somebody organizes a surprise party, he will not tell it to the person for whom he is doing it. In my opinion, these arguments are appropriate and true, however, I insist telling the truth. In terms of relationships, telling the truth is necessary in the beginning of it. It is a common mistake that people are not honest to each other when they start a relationship. Therefore, I agree that a small lie is allowed when people intend to surprise someone. In conclusion, telling the truth makes people's relationships and personalities thriving. Despite surprises, not telling the truth will not result in benefits.
