Explain why it was important for you to tell the truth to your friend

Introduction:1

My friend’s name is ABC. He/She is my childhood friend and he/she lives in my

locality. The truth that I told my friend was about his uncle who owned a chocolate

shop. His uncle sold fake international brands and chocolates with expiry dates. I

came to know about it and I felt the need to urgently share it with my friend. He

respected his uncle a lot and so it was very challenging for me to disclose this fact

to him.

When I shared the reality with my friend he was in shock and disbelief. He was also

angry at me for thinking bad about his uncle and his business. He spoke harsh words

to me and then did not talk to me for two weeks. However, our friendship is strong

and in his heart he must have believed me. He tried to find the truth and he finally

discovered it and realized that I was right. He apologized to me and thanked me for

telling him the truth.

It was important for me to tell this truth to my friend for many reasons. Chocolates

with expiry date are harmful for health. He not only ate a lot of chocolates himself

but also gifted them to many. I was concerned for his health. It is illegal to sell

duplicate international chocolates. My friend’s uncle and my friend would have

been in legal trouble. Additionally, his uncle was cheating him which was important

for him to realize.

Before I told the truth to my friend I was apprehensive and skeptical about his

reaction. I trusted our friendship, my friend’s maturity and gathered courage to tell

him the truth. Although, his first reaction was bad he later on understood my clear

intentions. I felt relieved and satisfied after I told him the fact. Later on, I felt proud

of myself and our friendship also strengthened.

I believe a lie spoken for someone’s benefit is better than truth. So, telling a lie momentarily for someone’s good is not a bad thing in my point of view. To the best of my recollection, today I want to talk about a time when I had to hide a bitter truth from my friend. His name is Mukul, one of my closest friend and I love spending time with him, sharing my happiness and sorrows. Last year, we were appearing for UPSC exam. As he was a very bright student since his childhood, he did all his best to crack this exam, studied 14 hours every day with full concentration and dedication.
Everything was proceeding as planned before the exam. We stayed up late together, working for final revision and solving all the questions that might appear in exams. Then just before the final day of the exam I accidentally picked up his phone while he went outside to get some fresh air.
The call was from his aunty. It was a pickle situation as his father was hospitalized due to heart attack. But somehow, I accumulated
my thoughts and told his aunty about the exams and explained everything. The only thing that came to my mind was that how is
he going to take it, will he be able to write his exams after this or not. Finally, I decided that we should not tell Mukul about this before exam.
When Mukul came back I pretended like nothing has happened and gave our exams to the best of our abilities. Finally, after returning to the hostel I decided to break the news to him. He started crying immediately. We booked his ticket and he left off immediately for his hometown. He did not talk to me for the entire vacation period.
Later, he cracked the exam with a very good rank and then he came to me and said that he was grateful for what I did. We are still good friends as we were before.
