Answer:
The truth is essential to all of humanity. Without it, society would be in a world full of chaos. Not only would trust fall apart, but exaggerated denial, deception, and the fear of love would come into play. Lying will always come with an expense.
Without truth, there is no trust. People will lose faith and know to never trust you again, which down the road can lead to trust issues in people close to them such as family members, friends, or lovers.
Even if a situation that may be harmful to someone else, consider it in a way that if they were to be lied to it'd make it even worse. Self-confidence would diminish and they could find themselves in a state of loneliness and misunderstanding.
Lying leads to worse cases than negative truths. Take for example, a boy wants to be become a musician. He always hits the wrong note when trying to play a g-chord, and so he becomes upset and asks if he's bad. A girl replies, "No, you're amazing!" and he continues pursuing a career choice without fixing his mistakes, ending up costing him the career.
The truth may hurt, but it is nothing compared to deception. No matter the case, cause, or correlation, honesty should always come first regardless of the situation.
(Normally, I don't do essays on brainly because I charge about $5 for a standard English essay, $9 for an honors English essay, and $12 for an AP English essay, but since it was a short topic I figured I could knock it out in about ten minutes. Hope this helps.)
