Is it always important to tell the truth?

We have always been told that honesty is important, when speaking with others. Nevertheless, it is not always easy to tell the truth, because sometimes being honest can give you problems.
Firstly, some people believe that telling always the truth to children is negative. In the contrary, this idea is better in principle, than it is in practice, since you can find other ways to be honest, without giving them information they shouldn’t know or reasons that could make them feel sad.
Another factor to consider is lying when doing job interviews. It is very common in people, not being honest when they are about to get hire in a company. Nonetheless, it can lead you to bigger problems. As matter of fact, they are going to trust you less.
Lastly, honesty is the base to build healthy relationships. When we lie, we contribute to ruin the confidence, that people we care had given us. Therefore, a lie is a decision, you have made knowing someone could be harmed.
Overall, despite the fact acting in an honest way is sometimes truly difficult, is the best way to contribute positively to our life.
