Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: it is impossible to be completely honest with you friend.

Have you ever lied to your friends? Faced with this question, most of us will say “yes”. As we all know, before the god and the lord, every human mortal is a liar. Conspicuously, being honest, in whatever conditions, seems a great challenge to the majority of us, at least.

Although it is hard to tell truth always, it does not mean that we can cheat our friends. Admittedly, honesty, one of the traditional virtues of human beings, is fundamental to friendship. A friendship without honesty is like the tree without roots, an eagle without wings, a car without wheels and a song without melody. Only through honesty can true friendship be built, heart-to-heart feelings shared, sincere support given and further understanding gained. So I am particularly interested in figuring out the conditions under which dishonesty may be permitted ------ a subject on which there is little agreement among the public.

In some conditions, it is not too exaggerated to assert that we tell lies for the reason that we are intended to encourage our friends and help them to succeed. When friends are frustrated with his failures or difficulties, we say “Never, never, nerve give up” even though the result seems the same. But it does sometimes make sense. Here is a story of my friend, Alice. Alice, who was a little shy girl, was recommended to give a speech for the whole school. So serious preparations did Alice make that she spent days and nights practicing pronunciation, expressions and gestures. But strangely, whenever she practiced speaking faced with the public, she could hardly say a sentence fluently. Consequently, she was in utter disappointment and wanted to give up. Even noticing that continuing efforts would make no sense, I still insisted her to try and told her that she would present a perfect speech. Fortunately and surprisingly, finally she really did a good job, giving us a perfect performance. Had I expressed my true opinion, she would not overcome herself and achieve such triumph.

Besides, sometimes, only by telling a lie can our friends be protected, harm reduced and happiness received. Had you undergone these experiences, you would have taken a further understanding of this. John, my best friend, has some difficulties speaking fluently and has a heavy dialect pronunciation. Some people in our class, intended or just for fun, make jokes about his pronunciation. One time, someone was imitating how John spoke with funny actions and everyone around him laughed loudly. John just passed by and asked me why they were so delighted. How can I answer? The more truths I told him, the more hurt he would obtain and sadder he would be. So I just voiced that someone was telling a funny story. Under such circumstance, I protect my friends from harm.

In a nutshell, there is no doubt that we should try to be honest to friends, but sometimes our lies contribute to our friends’ happiness and success.
