Debate material, white lies

Are you for or against it?

There are countless lies in the world, and we can't just think that lies are bad. Sometimes, white lies can share sadness and save others' lives.

Example << Wolf is coming >> As we all know, it's a story about a kid who herded sheep lying and cheating, which led to the sheep being finally eaten by wolves. When I was a child, every time adults finished this story, they warned us to be honest, otherwise we would be eaten by wolves like children herding sheep. Adults are right, honesty is the foundation of being a man. However, in real society, we must learn to lie in many cases. At the right time, we should tell some white lies. Some white lies can make our lives and those we love better.

Lies out of good wishes are the nourishment of life and the source of faith. It makes people ignite the fire of hope from the heart and firmly believe that there is love, trust and emotion in the world, thus finding more reasons to laugh at life. White lies endow humanity with spirituality, reflect the delicacy of emotions and the maturity of thoughts, and urge people to be strong and persistent, to fight for it involuntarily, and finally to overcome their fragility and survive. In life, we often meet some well-meaning and beautiful lies, which constitute another landscape of life. It enriches the interest of people's life, makes the relationship between people more harmonious and makes life more pleasant and happy. A lie when a disaster suddenly comes is sometimes a lie to save lives.

A transport plane was forced to land in a sandstorm in the desert, but the plane was seriously damaged and could not resume taking off. Communication equipment was also destroyed and communication with the outside world was interrupted. Nine passengers and 1 driver were in despair. The instinct of survival makes them fight for limited dry food and water.

At a critical juncture, a passenger on an airplane stepped forward temporarily and said, "Don't panic, I'm an airplane designer. As long as Qi Xin listens to my command, we can repair the plane. " This is like a shot in the arm, which has stabilized everyone's mood. They consciously save water and dry food; Everything is in order. Let's unite to fight against sandstorms.

Ten days have passed and the plane has not been repaired; However, a caravan passing through the desert rescued them. A few days later, it was discovered that the temporary passenger was not an airplane designer at all. He is a primary school teacher and knows nothing about airplanes. Someone called him a liar after knowing the truth and asked him angrily: "Everyone's life is almost gone, and you still have the heart to deceive us?" The primary school teacher said, "If I hadn't lied, would everyone still be alive now?"

The above story tells us that white lies are the hope of life, an oasis in the desert, and sometimes they really change our lives. & lt Wolf is coming >> As we all know, it is a story about a kid who herded sheep lying and cheating, which led to the sheep being finally eaten by wolves.

White lies have magical power, encouraging you to make progress again and again, and never giving up for your dreams. Because the future road is completely illuminated by happy mood, life becomes better.

The famous American writer ou? Henry's novel The Last Leaf tells a white lie. When the sick old man looked at the dead leaves and was sad and desperate, the loving painter decorated the withered tree of life with a carefully sketched green leaf, thus maintaining a dying light of life.

Isn't this the acme of lies? If confession is a mistake, I choose lies. If telling the truth, being frank and being reckless is a kind of harm, I choose lies. If it's for yourself or others to stop suffering and sadness, what's the harm of a little more lies? Orbit.

opposition

My opinion: a lie is a lie after all and it will always be a lie. If a white lie is used as an excuse, everyone can lie. We have been taught by our parents and teachers since childhood. What we need is honesty. Even though we sometimes hurt others, we are telling the truth and worthy of our hearts.

; Tears cannot redeem honesty for Leonardo da Vinci.

Recently, Leonardo da Vinci, the brand of "foreign home", fell into the "fake door". In the face of public doubts, the company insisted that the Italian brand products it represented were imported, but at the same time admitted that American brands had cooperated with domestic factories. At the press conference, Zhuang Xiuhua, the general manager of the company, avoided questions from the media and the public, but told this difficult "entrepreneurial history" with tears in his eyes.

For Zhuang Xiuhua's "Tears Spilling Conference Site", netizens spoofed the famous painting "Mona Lisa's Smile" by the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci and turned it into "Da Vinci's Tears". Mona Lisa's smile is touching, but what are Da Vinci's tears? Tears can be the expression of true feelings, but they are also deductive techniques in film and television dramas. What does Zhuang Xiuhua's tears contain?

It is true that the road to entrepreneurship has never been smooth sailing. Zhuang Xiuhua's tearful story about "The History of Entrepreneurship" may express her regret brought by the credit crisis, because the result of consumers voting with their feet may become a setback for the development of enterprises. However, the statement needs to be proved, and it is difficult to dispel public doubts with unconvincing evidence. "Da Vinci" burst into tears, obviously unable to save the credibility crisis that he is facing. It is not that the public is too indifferent, but that deception is unbearable. One result can be predicted: if the public believes in Da Vinci's tears, then maybe more deceived consumers will cry for Da Vinci tomorrow.

Honesty should be the foundation of a career. If there is nothing wrong with Da Vinci, we should not talk about him from left to right, let alone try to use tears as a public relations weapon to gain sympathy. The fact itself is the best tool to refute rumors. Whether it is consumer rumors or malicious competition in the industry, the truth can break everything. Whether Da Vinci has the courage to break rumors with the truth depends on whether it is really free from deception and deception and whether it is fully confident.

"Da Vinci" mentioned that the "fake door" was framed by a competitor, which is probably the main reason why "Da Vinci" cried and "hid half his face in front of us behind her guitar". China people have a growing demand for luxury brands. According to the report released by the World Luxury Association in June, China will surpass Japan next year and become the largest luxury trade and consumption center in the world. By then, the total consumption of luxury goods in the whole year is expected to reach $654.38+046 billion. High demand will inevitably attract more profit seekers, and the market will inevitably be mixed. In addition, the level of luxury goods in China has not kept up with the level of luxury goods consumption, and the consumer psychology of "only buying expensive goods and not choosing the right ones" is easily exploited by unscrupulous merchants.

Whether "Da Vinci" is fake or not requires sufficient evidence to falsify it in order to convince the public. However, for the confusion of the "fake door", we can make a hypothesis: behind the tears of "Da Vinci", perhaps the grievances are not from consumers' doubts, but from peers. Originally, everyone made a fortune with consumers as the center and lived in peace. Now the colleagues suddenly make a fuss, and the days of "Da Vinci" are really hard. At this time, "Da Vinci" seems to have only two choices: First, let nature take its course and let the storm subside as soon as possible through crisis public relations; The second is to announce the truth.

Therefore, for the tears of Da Vinci, we can't stop pursuing the truth. Regulators and laws should not believe in tears, but should stand in the position of consumer rights and seek the truth for consumers.

The mystery of Mona Lisa's smile in Da Vinci's paintings can be explored slowly, but the tears flowing in Da Vinci's eyes can't be solved. The grievances of Da Vinci come from the hidden rules of the industry, or the misunderstanding of the people. Tears can't be falsified, only facts can be excused.

When Han Xin was down and out, a floating mother brought him food. When Han Xin left her, she told her that she would come to repay her later. Later, when Han Xin became the king of Chu, he did not forget his old love and made a donation to his mother.

Three or five honest stories

1. The establishment of Yan Shu's reputation

Yan Shu, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, is famous for his honesty. At the age of fourteen, he was recommended to the emperor and became a child prodigy. The emperor summoned him and asked him to take the exam at the same time with more than 1000 Jinshi. As a result, Yan Shu found that she had just practiced the exam ten days ago, so she truthfully reported to Zhenzong and asked to change other topics. Song Zhenzong appreciated Yan Shu's honesty very much and named him "fellow scholar". When Yan Shu takes office, the world is at peace. Therefore, Beijing officials, large and small, often go to the suburbs or hold various banquets in restaurants and teahouses in the city. Yan Shu was poor and had no money to go out to eat, drink and have fun, so she had to read and write articles with her brothers at home. One day, Zhenzong promoted Yan Shu as the official of the East Palace who assisted the prince in his studies. Ministers were surprised and didn't understand why Zhenzong made such a decision. Zhenzong said, "Recently, the ministers often play and have banquets. Only Yan Shu studies behind closed doors, so she is cautious in self-esteem and is the best candidate for the East Palace official. " Yan Shu thanked him and said, "I am actually a person who likes to play and eat, but my family is poor." If I had money, I would have taken part in the banquet tour. " These two things made Yan Shu establish prestige in front of ministers, and Song Zhenzong trusted him more.

2. Comparison of Washington, Nixon and Clinton

Washington cut down his father's cherry tree with a small axe. When his father saw his beloved tree cut down, he was very angry and threatened to teach the tree cutter a lesson. Washington admitted his mistake in front of his angry father. Father was very moved and said that Washington's honesty is much more precious than all cherry trees. It was also President Nixon who was forced to resign because he lied in Watergate. Clinton was also impeached for lying in a disgraceful scandal. One was loved for his honesty, and the other two left a stain on political history for lying.

3. Comparison between "Building a Tree for Faith" and "Bonfire Party".

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Shangyang presided over the political reform with the support of Qin Xiaogong. At that time, at a time of frequent wars and panic, in order to establish prestige and promote reform, Shang Yang ordered a 30-foot-long wood to be erected outside the south gate of the capital, and made a promise in public: whoever can move this wood to the north gate will be rewarded with twelve taels of silver. None of the onlookers believe that such an easy thing can get such a high reward, so no one is willing to try. So Shang Yang raised the reward to 50 gold. Under the four rewards, there must be brave people. Finally someone stepped forward and carried the wood to the north gate. Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty gold. Shang Yang's move established prestige in the hearts of the people, and Shang Yang's next reform was quickly popularized in Qin State. The new law made the State of Qin stronger and eventually unified China.

It was also in the place where Shang Yang "established a tree as a letter" that a ridiculous farce of "playing a vassal in a bonfire" was staged 400 years ago.

There is a favorite princess in Zhou Youwang, whose name is Bos. In order to win her smile, Zhou Youwang ordered more than 20 beacon towers near the capital to light bonfires-bonfires are a signal of border warning, which can only be lit when foreign enemies invade and need to call the princes for help. As a result, as soon as the princes saw the bonfire, they led the soldiers to arrive in a hurry, realized that it was a trick set by the king to smile at his wife, and then left angrily. I finally smiled happily when I saw the usually prestigious princes at a loss. Five years later, another large-scale attack on Zhou, the bonfire of Youwang was rekindled, but the ministers were late-no one wanted to be fooled again. As a result, you Wang was forced to commit suicide and was praised and captured.

A "stand up and win the trust" promises 1000 yuan; An emperor didn't believe it and played the game of "wolf coming". As a result, the former succeeded in political reform and the country was strong; The latter, who brought shame on himself, died. It can be seen that "trust" plays a very important role in the rise and fall of a country.

4. Li Yu Ian recorded a story that he lost his life because he broke his promise.

A businessman in Jiyang sank while crossing the river. He grabbed a hemp pole and shouted for help. A fisherman heard the sound. The businessman quickly shouted: "I am the richest man in Jiyang. If you can save me, I will give you 100 two gold. " . After being rescued ashore, the businessman turned his face and refused to admit it. He only gave the fisherman 10 two gold. The fisherman accused him of breaking his word and going back on his word. The rich man said, "You are a fisherman. I can't make much money in my life. Is it not enough to suddenly get twelve taels of gold? " My husband must be very unhappy. Unexpectedly, the rich man capsized in the same place again. Someone tried to save him, and the person he cheated said, "He is a man of his word!" " "So the merchant drowned. It is accidental that the businessman capsized twice and met the same husband, but it is expected that the businessman will not be rewarded. Because if a person does not keep his word, he will lose the trust of others. So, once he is in trouble, no one wants to rescue him. Those who break their promises to others, once in trouble, have to sit still.

Lyu3 bu4' s promise saved him from disaster.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu. He kept his word and had a very high reputation. Many people have established a strong friendship with him. At that time, there was even a proverb: "It is better to get a hundred pounds of gold than to keep a promise." (This is the origin of the idiom "A promise is as good as a gold") Later, he offended Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, and was offered a reward for his capture. As a result, his old friends not only were not confused by the heavy money, but also risked the extinction of Jiuzu to protect him from disaster. A person who is honest and trustworthy will naturally get a lot of help and gain everyone's respect and friendship. On the other hand, if you covet temporary comfort or petty advantages and lose trust in your friends, you will get "benefits" on the surface. But for this benefit, he ruined his reputation, which is much more important than material things. Therefore, breaking a promise to a friend is tantamount to losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds, which is not worth the loss.

6\ The Story of Integrity

In the early years, few foreigners set foot in the southern foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal. Later, many Japanese people came here for sightseeing, which is said to be because of the honesty of a teenager.

One day, several Japanese photographers invited a local teenager to buy beer, and the teenager ran for more than three hours.

The next day, the boy offered to buy them beer. The photographers gave him a lot of money this time, but the boy didn't come back until the afternoon of the third day. As a result, photographers talked about it and thought that the boy cheated the money away. On the third night, the boy knocked on the photographer's door. It turned out that he only bought four bottles of beer in one place, so he climbed a mountain, crossed a river, bought six more bottles, and broke three bottles when he came back. He took the broken glass in tears and returned the change to the photographer. All the people present were moved. This story deeply touched many foreigners. Later, more and more tourists came here.

7\ Honest story

In the riverside park in new york, there is a monument to the soldiers killed in the Civil War, and many tourists come to pay homage to the dead every year. General Grant's grave is located in the north of the park. He was the 18 th president of the United States and the commander-in-chief of the Union Army during the Civil War. The mausoleum is tall, majestic, solemn and simple. There is a large green lawn behind the mausoleum, which extends to the boundary of the park and the edge of the steep cliff.

Behind General Grant's mausoleum, closer to the cliff, there is also a children's mausoleum. This is a tiny and ordinary grave, and you may ignore it anywhere else. Like most American graves, it has only a small tombstone. On the tombstone and nearby're signs, there is a touching story about honesty:

The story happened on 1797 more than 200 years ago. This year, when the little owner of this land was five years old, he accidentally fell off the cliff here and died. His father was heartbroken and buried him here and built such a small mausoleum as a souvenir. A few years later, family fortune fell and the old owner had to transfer the land. Out of love for his son, he made a strange request to the future landowner. He asked the new owner to take the child's mausoleum as a part of the land and never destroy it. The new owner agreed and wrote this condition into the contract. In this way, the child's mausoleum was preserved.

Times have changed, and a hundred years have passed. I don't know how many times this land has been sold or how many owners have changed. The child's name has long been forgotten by the world, but the child's tomb is still there. According to one sales contract after another, it was completely preserved. 1897, this land of geomantic omen was chosen as the cemetery of General Grant. The government became the owner of this land, and the tomb of the Unknown Son was preserved intact in the hands of the government and became the neighbor of Grant General Cemetery. The grave adjacent to the grave of a great historical creator and the grave of an unknown child may be a unique miracle in the world.

One hundred years later, 1997, in memory of General Grant, Giuliani, then mayor of new york, came here. It happened to be the centenary of the establishment of General Grant's mausoleum and the bicentennial of the child's death. Mayor Giuliani personally wrote this touching story and carved it on the wooden sign, standing next to the tomb of nobody, so that this honest story can be passed down from generation to generation. ...

8\ Stories about honesty

[Story 2] A soldier was not good at long-distance running, so he soon fell far behind in an army cross-country race and ran alone. After several turns, I met a fork in the road, a road marked by an officer; The other road is marked as the path for soldiers to run. He paused. Although he was dissatisfied that being an officer was even cheaper than cross-country races, he still ran towards the road of soldiers. I didn't expect to reach the finish line half an hour later, but I was ranked first. He felt incredible. He has never been ranked, let alone run into the top 50. However, the official in charge of the competition smiled and congratulated him on winning the competition.

A few hours later, a large number of people came, exhausted from running, and surprised to see him win. But suddenly everyone realized how important it is to be honest and trustworthy at the fork in the road.
