our teachers always tell us honesty is the best policy. But sometimes tell a lie maybe a better choice. And now in this society,it is quite a need to be able to lie for life.
I am a honest people, I am not used to lying. But I really find that sometimes we do should choose to tell a lie.And telling lies also needs you have the ability.
So I think it is a weak point for me that I always like to tell other the truth and my real thought.
What do you think, my friend? Are you a person like to tell the truth or a lie?

That was the thing that we learned when we were younger, until we learned also that the adults do lies too. I used to believe that honesty is the best policy until I learned that it is not. I am not a person that like to tells lies to people, but somehow it is a good thing not to tell everything to people. Keep something is not considered a lie, but still it is not considered being honest as well.

Honesty always helps us to justify ourselves, even if the things go wrong. Otherwise it will bring lot of guit and self anger. If we are honest to what we do, then no need to fear anybody and the consequences.
