Some people say that you should be honest and don't lie. Some people think that "white lies" are sometimes needed in life, but I support that you should be honest and don't lie.
Honesty means honesty and trustworthiness, and a sense of responsibility for yourself, others and the collective. It is not only the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation, but also the minimum standard for everyone to be honest from an early age. As long as a person talks about honesty, others will appreciate him, respect him, get close to him and help him when he is in trouble. Otherwise, people will not trust him.
When I was a child, I often heard adults say that "a child who lies is not a good boy." Since ancient times, anyone's parents will teach their children. Sometimes, we can tell some little lies. I don't think so. So I want to make a statement here.
Indeed, some people think that white lies are beautiful, which can comfort others' hearts and make others feel happy. That's true, but if you tell a lie, you must tell another lie to round up the first one. Nobody told you this truth?
If everyone in life tells white lies, and friends, relatives and classmates will think that they are all lies, then the trust I mentioned above will no longer exist in life. As long as I say it, people won't believe it 100%, but they will be dubious or even don't believe it. Yes, do you want to live in a world full of lies? Besides, there is no doubt that a white lie is itself a lie.
Since ancient times, the story of Ceng Zi's wife has been circulated. One of Confucius' students is Ceng Zi. One day, his great wife is going to the market, which is great. The child was crying to leave, and his first wife told his son a lie: "You wait at home until your mother comes back to kill the pig for you."
This can make my son happy, but the child doesn't know that his mother just made up a lie to coax him. The child skipped home. As soon as Zeng's wife came back, she was ready to kill the pig. Seeing this, she quickly stopped: "What are you doing? It's not Chinese New Year. What pig did you kill? "
Ceng Zi said, "Children can't play with him. Children are not sensible, and all knowledge needs to be learned from their parents and taught by them. Now if you cajole him, you are teaching your child to cajole others. If the mother coaxes the child, the child will not believe her. This is not the way to educate children to be gentlemen. "
So Ceng Zi killed the pig, gave it to the children and educated them about it.
This story tells us how important honesty is in life! All that glitters is not gold; Beautiful words are not all good words. As the saying goes: a word from a gentleman is a promise. We should all be honest people, and we shouldn't tell some little lies because of some things, which is wrong.
Please always remember that honesty is our traditional virtue in China. We should be honest, carry forward our Chinese virtues and let people trust each other!
