A very large number of people nowadays chooses the comfort lie rather than the painful truth, why’s that you ask? Well it’s because we avoid these realities because we’re afraid of how these experiences will make us feel.
Some people chooses to lie their way out of a situation to save themselves saying “small lies don’t matter” or “I lie to protect the feelings of others”. Those people that say those ‘protects’ themselves from the potential pain and consequences that are expected to experience from their feelings or even their own judgement.
In my opinion, the truth will always be the priority in every situation, no matter how painful it is, it’s better to take in that truth than take that comfortable lie that could possibly damage relationships in the future. Even if it hurts others, it’s always better to be honest to them so it doesn’t do much damage anymore. Not telling the truth can be bitter and severe a lot more aspects in your life. Honesty is all about the emotional truth in any situation.
You might have heard the words “sharing is caring” so here’s why we say that. Let’s say one day someone asks you to share your chips and you say no. That person obviously doesn’t like it. Well next time that person has something and of course you would want some. But that person wouldn’t want to share because you didn’t share. Sharing also means you care about someone. That’s where the term comes from.
The excerpt from Ben Johnson's novel 'Song to Celia', which compares intoxication to love is this: BUT MIGHT I OF JOVE'S NECTAR SUP, I WOULD NOT CHANGE FOR THING.
An individual is said to be intoxicated or drunk, when such a person is in a state, in which his ability to control himself both physically and mentally has been significantly reduced as a result of drinking alcohol. The sentence given in option C compares love to intoxication; the speaker of the statement is saying that even if he could drink nectar from Jove's cup, he would rather prefer to have Celia's cup. In the novel from which this excerpt is extracted, nectar is depicted as a divine drink, the drink of the gods.
