光棍节二战，作文求拍。

Is it better to let a friend make a mistake than saying or doing something that would end the friendship?

                 Don’t cheat your friends

Real friendship is not to be quite while seeing your friends doing something wrong, neither is it to turn eyes blind in order to maintain relationship with your friends, the best way to treat friends is to tell the truth rather than tell the lies.

However, some people may disagree, and they may argue my comment on friendship is too simple and I’m too candid. In contrast to my candor, they prefer to be more euphemistic, even turning blind when faced with the mistakes their friends may commit, in order to maintain the friendship. The reasons why they tend to be so are like, to be direct may hurt friends’ feelings, and to intervene in others’ personal affairs is impolite. Still, I think things are not in line with what they take for granted.

First, pretending to see nothing is cheating, for a human being, honesty is the basic characteristic one should preserve, needless to say, in front of your friends. Even though, it may hurt the relationship if you point out your friends’ drawbacks, but it will hurt after your friends commit the mistakes just because you don’t remind him or her. No lies can last forever, as long as you cheat your friends once, they will distrust you, and once you are found to tell the lies, even your original purpose is kind, you are bound to lose the friendship you were trying to maintain in the wrong way.

Moreover, not only your kind of mercy can’t help your friends, it will also hurt your friends more. In some cases, you know your friend will do something wrong, what’s more, you know how to help him avoid it------as simple as point it out, but you choose to be silent, therefore, the certain result is that your friends are regretful for their mistakes, and they may sincerely think in this way” If only my friends could had give me some advice”. When you are faced with such situation, your feeling suffers “ If only I could give my friends some advice.”

From my point of view, if you really want to maintain the precious friendship, what you should do is to tell the truth all the time. Sometimes, you find it difficult to be honest, but you may find it more difficult when faced with the consequence brought about by your kind lying.
