"You should never tell a lie even if the truth may hurt someone." Q: Do you agree or disagree with the following? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. -"You should never tell a lie even if the truth may hurt someone." I don’t agree with that you should never tell lie even if the truth hurts someone. I would give reasons with my experiences. Firstly, I would lie, if the truth hurts someone, if the situations cannot be changed for a good way but causing only sadness or guiltiness. When I was 7 years old, I had a puppy, at a first time of my life and I loved him a lot. But one day, my parents said to me that the puppy was brought by a model agency, because he was so cute, and that we could see him on a TV or magazines. I thought that it was sad not to live with him, but I guessed, on the other side, it would be good, if more people loved him and feed happy seeing him. After that day, he was on TV shows, and I was happy to see him. About 10years later, my dad told me that they had lied to me. He had died due to me, being fed wrong food by me, when I was in kindergarten. They did not want me to get hurt. If I was told the truth, I would be depressed feeling guilty. Like this experience, we could lie to someone when we could not change the result and just hurt one’s mind. Secondly, I would lie, if the situation let my people worry so much, but could get better after the time. About 5 years ago, I had lived in Canada for a year and then went back to Korea. I met lots of friends again, who I missed so much in Canada. And I found that one of them had a cancer in her Stomach and got her healthy back after a surgery and a long period of suffering time with curing. And she said that she could not tell me, because I could not do anything even if I heard it and I would be only sad in Canada being worried her. She was sorry for not saying her situation, but we could get over soon, because she was healthy again. She believed that we would be allowed to lie for people we love, while some situations, in that someone get so sad or hurt, because the situation could get better after a period of time, so it could be better not to know what it exactly is going. After having experiences with my puppy and my friend, I do not agree with the statement. I think that telling the truth is not always right, even though it is the truth.
