Is honesty always the best policy?
Deception breeds deliberate wickedness; temporary honesty, frankness of inexorable character. Stories aiming to elaborate this point are very likely to repeat endlessly by our parents who seemed to never grow tired of such voices which forever straighten righteousness in our character. As beneficial as performing honesty may appear, we can not deny the fact that we are not living in a utopia world thus making some of the circumstances hostile of honesty, the best policy human kind ever dare to imagine, thereby compelling us to turn to the other end, deception. Although when we even think of the word lie, we instinctively relate it to the darkness of human nature, this is indeed not true for most of the time, deceit means a flexible solution which will benefit more interest parties especially in an unfavorable situation.</p>
<p>A well intended lie comes as a beacon light of hope ending peoples innermost despair. In literature, The Last Leaf by O Henry depicts the most wonderful deception, which lightens up a girls will to survive. The would-be, very talented artist, Johnsy was smite by the Pneumonia, thus losing the goal in life and determining to pass away with the fall of the last leaf on the ivy vine. It was in the deep winter with the ruthless zephyr tearing apart everything it touched, not speaking of the fragile leaves. Johnsy s good friend Sue,who cared a lot about her, feared that Johnsy, light as a leaf herself would float away. Whether it was out of coincidence or was predestined, Sue told Behrman, a janitor who used to also be an artist dreaming to complete his own masterpiece during his life time, about Johnsys fancies one afternoon when she asked him to model for her. In the following days, Johnsy was surprised to discover that one leaf was magically clinging to the vine, a miracle strengthens the world Johnsy hold upon. The delightful news of Johnsys rapid recovery, with which the doctor brought accompanied with the miserable that Behrman died of the Pneumonia. It later turned out, Behrman painted the vivid leaf which even fooled the young artists eyes the night when the last leaf fell off, the very same night when he lightened up a soul at the expense of his own life. O Henry portrays the very condition, in which one who recklessly performed honesty demonstrates nothing but cruelty, while glorifying the beautiful delusion.</p>
<p>What takes place in literature usually appears to be too elusive to acknowledge, too fancied to practice; therefore, the real example in WWII would shed light on the true nature of the lie. During the WWII, the Nazi leader Adolph Hitler carried out the inhuman genocide towards the Jewish race. Numerous Jews were seared in the flames of unbearable affliction both mentally and physically. The despondent atmosphere of the anguish over the bereaved prevailed. For all the overwhelming power of the advocate of the massacre, there were people who were kind enough to lend their hands towards Jews. Though such generous people were not enough to prevent the overall tragedy, they were angels for the certain amount and their effort are appreciated by the future generation. However, people who provide shelter to the Jews did not accomplish this feat by honesty, in fact, they chose to shroud in the secrets and lie over bluntness. When the Nazi questioned them Did you protect those grimy Jews? No such fools would answered Yes, sir. There are three living in the attic of my houses. Honesty is fatal poison during this time especially when the evil dominated the world and the value of right and wrong had been reversed. If honesty threatens personal as well as others safety, how can we dare to proclaim that Honesty is the best policy !</p>
<p>Considerable amount of people, especially the elites would like to classify our words into two types, characterizing the honesty as honorable while defaming deception, if the statement can be reached, we could put the formula in the straight jacket of life; nonetheless, life proves to be a far more complex tapestry to be waved. When we react in various situation, what we intend is what matters for as a matter of fact, honesty or deception is only a path leading to what we expect. Its vital for us to tolerate both policies in order to construct a better world.</p>
