Being truthful is important, but I feel that sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. Truth can often lead to various problems. There are several reasons' I feel this way.
Sometimes when you tell the truth you could heart someone's feelings. For example you don’t like someone's new shirt or new haircut but if you tell that person about this he/she my feel bad. It is always not necessary to tell the truth like if you don’t want to go to the movie with someone because you always have to pay, it may be better not to tell the whole truth.
It is quiet possible that by telling the truth you could get into trouble. For example, if you tell your boss that you don’t like him/her, you could lose your job. Consequently, if you offend someone by telling the truth they may try to hurt you.
There may be some situations or circumstances where not telling the truth could be the best answer. For example if you are giving a surprise party for your friend, you don't want to tell him/her about it, this way you can impress him/her. Likewise
Sometimes telling the truth can cause pain. For example if an old person is told that his/her child is dead he will probably be in great depression.
To conclude, it is sometimes better no to tell the truth. Everyone must decide under which circumstances the truth should or should not be told and have good reasons for making that decision. If the situation demands that telling the truth can cause problem we should try to avoid the truth.
