Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth.
One of the first things that teachers and parents impress upon children is the importance of always telling the truth. In the United States, young George Washington admitted his fault, by saying, “father, I can not tell a lie!” In addition, all religions insist that lying is a sin. But I think there are times when telling the truth can do more harm than good.
In wartime, both soldiers and civilians are considered heroes if, despite torture, they refuse to tell the enemy what they know about the situation of their own side. Indeed, if they can deceive the enemy by lying and leading them into a trap, this is regarded as highly praiseworthy behavior. Obviously, to tell the truth in such circumstances would be foolish, and even treacherous.
On a more personal level, when a friend is feeling unwell or even just depressed, it is often unwise to tell him that he looks really ill; doing so can make him feel worse, and could cause him to really fall ill. Conversely, by telling a lie and saying that he looks fine, you will make him feel better and probably help him to recover. In that case you would have done good, not harm, by not telling the truth. Again, if a woman asks your opinion of an expensive new hairstyle which you think looks ridiculous, it would be unkind to give your frank opinion. That would only make her feel embarrassed for days or even weeks until she could change the style. So telling a lie by saying that her hair looks wonderful would do not harm in this case.
So, I agree with the statement. If telling the truth would do more harm than good, then sometimes it is better not to tell the truth.
