Honesty: Why is it a                                                   Do you agree or

                                                                                            disagree?
                  treasure?


                  ‘Always telling the truth’ is one of the main values that

                  we learn since an early age; and, as we grow up, it
                  represents some aspects about ourselves and how the                What do you prefer, a

                  world can see us too. But we learn that ‘lies’ also exist,           sweet lie or a bitter
                  and they have many subcategories depending on the                            truth?
                  damage it “can prevent”; also, it is easier to tell them
                  because of the range of imagination you can use to create
                  them. Being the opposite of the truth, which is just one
                  and realistic. For example, the use of “white lies” is a
                  common practice, because it’s not always easy to tell the

                  truth in every situation, mainly in ones in which someone
                  can get hurt in the case you decide to tell the truth. In             What do you think
                  spite of giving that “calmness” to the situation it actually
                                                                                        makes an honest

                  decreasing the closeness between two people to ruining
                  an entire relationship.                                                decision? Why?
