Trust and Behave

I believe trust is the most important thing between relationships, and I believe that lying can cause the breaking of trust. Between family members, friends, lovers, and even in relationships between animals, reliance is the most momentous thing that can break them up, or attach them back.

There are three different groups that can separate lies. You lie for yourself, for others, or for both. People mostly lie for themselves, only for their benefits. And people rarely lie for others’ benefits. These three groups are all different, but they have one similarity. They all cause to break up a relationship between people if it is found. No matter what group they are in, because you might lose your trust by lying. Because of lying, a couple breaks up, friends have a fight, family members fight or get scolded. To keep your relationship between others, if it’s possible, don’t lie. They will think you as a worse person, because trust is the most valuable thing between relationships.

Everyone lies. To be honest, I lie a lot. When I was about nine years old, my mom taught me to not lie, so I rarely lied. However one day, I saw my brother lying, but his lie was not found. I figured out that I could lie if it doesn’t get found. First was easy. When my mom was away, I played video game with my brother, and we told mom that we were just watching TV, because playing video game without permission was not allowed. However, as it goes farther, we had some critical situations, and finally mom found out that we were playing game when she was away. The punishment was heavier because we lied to her. That experience taught me that lying will give you a worse result.

Avoiding lying is important, but building up your image as a trustworthy person is important too. You have to avoid things that your relationships don’t like. You become more reliable when you do not do things that your friends, family members or others don’t like than doing what they like.

If you want to keep your relationships between others when you did something not forgivable, think about trust, and decide what to do. Even if you behaved badly to your relationships, lying will make you a worse person. Try to find another way. There must be one.

Finally!

As I walked into the iStudio, everyone stared at me with eyes filled with curiosity. Well, actually not everybody, only some of them did. If you concentrate on them even more, you might find out that they were actually looking at the white fat envelope filled with uncountable amount of red papers that I was holding. ‘I finally made it!’ I mouthed to myself with excitement. I dashed through crowded people and faced an advertisement about iPad27. I seized my money desperately as I read through the paper, and I finally got to the paragraph shows the price. “What? How come!” I screamed out. My voice with misery spread out and filled the room. “Why... Tell me why...” I murmured. I needed to get 100RMB to reach the price of iPad27. After a few seconds of walking around, I left the iStudio with sadness and regret. "Mom, please..." I begged, and finally my 18th begging for money worked. She said that I can't spend that enormous amount of money only for playing game, but she finally accepted. She gave up! I can buy it!

This is my Humanities assignment. After reading an excerpt from __Blood on the River__, I decided what the atmosphere of the protagonist is. I picked two quotes from the excerpt to support my opinion.
