Could somebody please correct my work?
Answer the following questions:
1. Do you ever tell lies?
I always try to be honest and not tell lies. Sometimes it might be difficult to stay honest if you might loose something. I don't even remember when was the last time I told a lie. I also think that people consider me as a frank and direct person and they wouldn't say that I am a liar or someone who is prone to say lies.
2. Can the truth be a bad thing?
Sometimes it might be necessary to say a lie if the truth was too terrible or shocking. For example, if a child asks you for something that only adults can know you can't be honest not to hurt the child. Or if a close friend of yours asks you something and you don't want to hurt his feelings, perhaps you should be gentler and not too direct. In such situation you can also try to say your real thoughts in a different way so that the truth can be shown in a smaller way.
3. Do you know when other people are telling lies?
If somebody is a good actor it might be difficult to see through his or her lies. But if I suspect something I am usually more careful. But sometimes people say lies if they want to hide something they are ashamed of. In this situation you have to be very gentle to not hurt somebody else's feelings. Recently a friend of mine lied to me about his work. He had been dismissed but he didn't admit. He had a well-paid job but one day the firm he worked for had to lay off its workers.
