Do you agree or not: It is possible to be completely honest with your friend.

Honesty has been is considered to be one of the most important virtue in the world since the civilization begins.However,nowadays there are more people who choose to lie to each other. They have many excuses,such as"I was hiding the terrible truth for my friends' sake, otherwise, he could not make it" (not sure what this means...). As far as I'm concerned, this excuse can do nothing good but devastate the a valuable friendship.The relationship between friends can could be last only when people confide everything to each other.

First of all, honesty is the thing that we should always maintain bring till our funeral.When we are kids in kindergarten, hiding candies in our small hand and eating alone will could not bring us any friends.When we become young people in school, sharing knowledge honestly and competing with each other publicly are the best ways for us to learn and make friends. Finally, when we enter the society after our school education, being honest is an the efficient way for us to earn others' trust at work and make harmonious atmosphere in the office by bringing everyone into a close friendship.

Secondly, being completely honest with friends does not mean telling our friends horrible truth regardless of their feelings.For instance, my friends Amy has got / had cancer two years ago. At first, her parents forbid everyone from telling her truth, because they did not think she could ever get brace1 herself out of bed if she knew about how severe her disease was. But I do not think it is a good idea when I see her suffering from surgery after surgery everyday without any idea why she would doing these things caused her which make her more painful than ever. After her parents' permission, I told her the truth gently and encourage her to fight against her fate bravely.In fact, after finding out / being told the truth about her situation, Amy became positive than before. We learned how to adjust the body and mentality after surgery for the best to the best situation by reading medical articles everyday together.Sometimes we even left go out of the hospitals to breathe fresh air. After one year of fighting, Amy beat the cancer completely. Thanks to the honesty, Amy's life was saved and it bring brought my best friend back.

Admittedly, lying to friends might sometimes bring us some temporary benefits like catching some opportunities by not telling co-workers, secretly loving friend's boyfriend or in my case, hiding the truth to my friends.Nevertheless. these are not right things to our friends and to our own life. Hiding the truth will finally come out as through time moves on and can could definitely harm everyone.Theref

1 to brace yourself for something means to prepare for it

For example:

New York is bracing itself against the hurricane that is coming towards them.

After I found out my mom had cancer, we all braced ourselves for the tough process of going to chemotherapy.
