Have\nyou ever lied to protect something you hold dear? Yes, I did. Although I knew\nthat telling lie is wrong, I still did it to protect the feeling of my\ngrandfather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My\ngrandfather took care of me when I was in kindergarten. He always picked me up\nafter school and taught me to do homework. When he was free, he played with me.\nHe also bought me a lot of sweets. He treated me so well when I was small. But\nthen, when I was in primary school, I went back home by school bus and my\ngrandfather seldom picked me up. I could only visit him during holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately,\nmy grandfather had dementia. He couldn\u2019t take care of himself and couldn\u2019t\nrecognize his family members, not even his wife. Whenever my family went to\nvisit him, he always asked the same question: where\u2019s my elder brother? In\nfact, his elder brother passed away a few years before, but he just couldn\u2019t\nremember and kept asking why his elder brother didn\u2019t come to visit him. He\nalways thought that his brother was still alive. Whenever he asked me where his\nbrother was, I answered that he was at home and he didn\u2019t come to visit you because\nhe was not free. \u2018You would see him next time.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the\nincident happened again, I would still do it in the same way. I knew that I\nshouldn\u2019t tell lie but if I told him the truth, he would absolutely be sad\nabout this. He has already grown old and couldn\u2019t remember things, I didn\u2019t\nwant him to suffer from sadness anymore. \nI told a lie to him because he is the one who I hold the dearest. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
