In Unit 2 we were talking about Honesty, which in the book says that is the best policy. People use to lie because it can hide them from a problem, this is not correct but sometimes help. Telling the true doesn't help all the time. For example, on page 41 of our text book, we find some statements that shows the pros and cons of being honest:
Ex 1- '' Well, I was late for my first time appointment with a new client. When i told her i'd forgotten about the appointment, she fired me''.
Ex 2- '' Then Loe asked me to go to lunch, and I said no. When he asked me why, I said I didn't feel like listening to his problems''.
In the first example the person was fired because he/she said the true.
In the second example the person looks like arrogant just because he/she was telling his/her feelings.
I'm not trying to say that telling the true is bad, what i'm trying to say is that sometimes is better to explain what is happening in a positive way or apologize instead of saying a truly hurtful or a lie.
