Do you agree or disagrees with the following statement?
Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
My essay:
Nowadays, people are more intent to lie to others. Our media emphasize the "Honest" again and again. Here comes the question "should we always telling the truth in any relationship?". It is written in bible "Honesty guids good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people.". I think the quotation answers the question perfectly.
Lies destroy the friendship. I believe no one want to have a friend that always lie to him/her. For me, as a example, if a friend of mine ever lay to me, even just once, I will never trust him/her again. Maybe some lies they told me are for not hurting me. But I don't think it's a good reason for lying cause I hate lies more than anything. I grow up in China, which everything is faked. Government lies everyday. So I don't want to hear any lies in my private life. Lies make me sick.
On the other hand, lies undermine a company's credibility. If the autocratic government can check your email anytime they want with help of the provider, would you keep trusting the provider? This happend in China. An editor of a newspaper sent an email include some news which be prohibited in China to a US friend of him using Yahoo email. Days later, the government checked his email with the help of Yahoo. Then, government throw this editor to the jail for ten years, the accusation is "reveal national secret to others". This editor still in the jail tody. You must realize that Yahoo said they will protect our data from anyone. But they lay. I abandoned my Yahoo email immediately when I know this story. In addition, more and more people abandoned the email provider which put thier server in PR.China.
All in all, lies could ruin any relationship. We should try to tell truth to everyone. Honest will make our world better an better.

The media emphasizes "honesty" again and again.
It always come to the question: "Should we always telling the truth in any relationship?"
It is written in Bible: "Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people." (The Bible is the name of a book, so it should be capitalized.)
I think that this quotation answers the question perfectly.
Lies destroy the friendships.
I believe that no one wants to have a friend who always lies to him/her.
As for myself, if a friend of mine ever lies to me, even if just once, then I will never trust them again.
Maybe some of the lies they told were not meant to hurt me.
But I do not think it is a good reason to lie because I hate them more than anything.
I grew up in China where everything is faked.
The government lies everyday.
For this reason, I do not want to hear any lies in my private life.
