Telling the truth

I agree that sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. In some cases, the truth can make some one feel regretful and it is useless as well. If so, I do not think that we should tell the truth. However, there are many times, that we need to know the truth is the only way to helping self-destructive people. Nevertheless, telling the truth is usually beneficial to the speaker rather than the listener.

If someone says something rude and crude about other people, those words should not be repeated. Nevertheless, if a person has told a embarrassing secret to his friend and later on that friend has reviewed it to others. In this case that person has to be aware that he can no longer trust that friend anymore because he tends to leak other people's secrets.

In the case of those who tend to be self-destructive such as partying, they should be friends who care for them feel disappointed. However, if they skip classed and the teacher asks their friends why they do not attend classes, it is not necessary for them to tell the truth to the teacher. They need not tell a lie or provide any information about their friends behavior.

There are times when, people need to know the truth before they can make a decision on crucial matter. Suppose that you are selling your house and you are fully aware that there is water in the basement. If you so, you should tell the truth about this matter to those who are interested in buying your house. Failure to do so will cause you legal and ethical problems. However, you do not have to talk about your neighbor that he is emotionally unstable. Your neighbor may not have a problem with others Sometimes, it is much better not mention about it at all.
