Sorry for the late reply, I just returned home from school,here's my opinion about this selection.

In my opinon,it's better to tell a lie and appear as a good person rather than ruin your image by telling the truth when the situation goes against your favor, in today's modern society, people tend rise at the top of the society chain by lying, from job interviews, salestalk, up to corporate business deals in order for their lives and businesses to improve,but in a sense, not all lies have a negative effect towards people, there are two kinds of lying, the white lie and a black lie, both with different bipolar effects from one another, the white lie is a kind of lying which gives a certain good effect to others (ex. if an ugly person asks you a question if he/she's good looking, of course you will say that he/she looks magnificent) and with that process of lying, it builds up a good social relationship to both parties, while the black lie is the common practice of all lies which messes everything up.Reputation,dignity, social status and even social relationships.

In due cases, a person who tells nothing but the absolute truth only appears as an evil person for people who commits heinous acts themselves, examples of these are gossipers and crime eyewitnesses. And by keeping this good deed as their natural trait, it is one of the causes why nice and honest people die young, while the evil ones live longer, it usually happens most of the time in the field of politics ^_^

Bottom Line: Deep within, the world had a harsh and cruel environment to live in and it doesn't look on people's perspectives in black and white anymore,as a practical individual, one must lie in order to survive,rise to the top, and win over people's hearts and trust, but this is not entirely true all the time, the truth is also necessary to negate the effects of conflict, misunderstanding and deception, in this case, truth and lies go hand in hand depending on how the situations calls it fit.

Sigh...Sorry for the long message again


And to answer the next question:

I choose,option 1: I'll abandon the ideal and face reality

Next Question:

Where do you want to work?

In your own country? or overseas?
