Reject lies and create integrity

Mark Twain once said: “When you can’t make up your mind, tell the truth. It will embarrass your opponent. , Make your friends feel relieved." Therefore, I want to say to everyone: Reject lies and build integrity.

First of all, integrity is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. We take everyone and everything seriously. Over time, we will receive the rewards of integrity and feel the beauty of integrity. If a person is dishonest, no one will trust him and will alienate him. Even if he tells the truth in the future, no one will believe him. Everyone must have heard the story "The Wolf Cried": a shepherd boy often told lies, so no one in the village believed him. In the end, his sheep were eaten by the wolf.

Secondly, lying is behavior contrary to integrity. Even if it is a white lie, its essence is still lies and lies, exaggerating, covering up, and distorting the truth. Although white lies have good intentions, good intentions may not necessarily bring good results. Sometimes they are counterproductive and even cause negative effects. There is a person who is terminally ill. In order to let him spend the rest of his life peacefully, his family and friends hide it from him. There is no malice and no self-interest in doing so. However, fire cannot be contained in paper, lies cannot last, and deception does not satisfy people's expectations. , On the contrary, patients lose the best time to deal with personal affairs and realize their wishes.

Again, white lies are more of an excuse. A white lie takes off its beggar's clothes and puts on a suit, but its essence is still a lie, which runs counter to honesty and trustworthiness, and goes hand in hand with deceit and abduction. Because there is a certain degree of uncertainty in good intentions, white lies have been repeatedly exploited and calculated by some "professional liars", which ultimately led to unimaginable results.

Finally, I reiterate: less lies and more integrity. If a person loses integrity, he will be left with hypocrisy; if a company loses integrity, it will face bankruptcy; if a nation loses integrity, it will face decline; if a country loses integrity, it will perish! Only if you keep your word and integrity can you succeed, and if you keep your word and integrity can the Chinese nation be eternal!

Then let us speak loudly together: reject white lies and build an honest society!

This argumentative essay quotes Mark Twain's famous saying and puts forward the central argument of "reject lies and build integrity first", divided into "integrity is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation" and "lies are contrary to integrity" "Behavior" and "White lies are more of excuses" are three levels of argumentation. The end of the argument is a call to action, and the levels are clear and organized.
