题目：Is it wise to be suspicious of the motives or honesty of the people,even those who appear to be trustworthy?
范文：Throughout history and literature, there are a variety of examples that concerns the everlasting debate between trust and skepticism. Some argue that one should trust and accept of others, because humans are thought of as being fundamentally kind. Others maintain that one can never be too cautious when considering the motives of others, since under most circumstances; people are drive by selfish motives. There is no doubt that it requires considerable courage and great wisdom to have faith in others, however, skepticism towards the motives of others cannot simply be regarded as cynicism, because often times, even those who appear completely honest and trustworthy and be acting with selfish intensions.
Shakespeare Is famed for his eloquent use of language, but it is his ability to create dramatic tension and psychological intensity among well-sculpted characters that made him the most widely-read playwright in the history of English literature. In one of his most well-read plays, King Lear, Shakespeare skillfully presented his audience with the tragedy of Lear, who experienced heartbreak and mistreatment because his judgment was clouded by the seemingly honest and trustworthy facades of his two elder daughters. In the opening of the play, it is evident to the audience that Goneril and Reagan are flattering their father with words steeped in honey, and throughout their lengthy and flamboyant verse they attempt the show their father how pure and genuine their love for him is. In a masterly maneuver of dramatic irony, King Lear is completely fooled by these flattering claims without a trace of suspicion in his mind. He not only awarded his elder daughters more wealth and power than he originally promised because he was pleased by their gilded words, but also disowned his youngest daughter Cordelia and the faithful Kent for speaking out against them. Lear was fooled by appearance and tricked by arrogance so skillfully that he cannot differentiate between trickery and true honesty. His example shows that one cannot be too weary of people with selfish intensions, no matter how genuine their appearance suggests.
Niccolo Machiavelli’s name is often associated with negative connotations, but today many scholars believe that certain principles he outlined for Lorenzo de Medici in his famous work, the Prince, contributed greatly to the development of modern political science. In the Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli then described concisely to Lorenzo how to become a powerful and efficient ruler who can maintain power. He stressed the importance of getting the trust of others, but also emphasized that a “prince” should not easily trust others. This claim appears contradictory, but with further examination, one can see its merit. This is not only part of judgment and consideration when making decisions, in Machiavelli’s brilliant and ruthless mind, it can be used as a political and diplomatic weapon, in the right hands, can achieve either great deeds or ause great damage. Therefore, one cannot easily trust others especially if one plans on using honesty as a means of deceit to ascertain one’s own goals.
In conclusion, it is indeed wise to be suspicious of the motives or honesty of other people, even though they appears to be trustworthily, because according to Machiavelli, the stone-old brilliant political world can use the mask of honesty as a powerful weapon to hide deceit, and the tragedy of King Lear suggest that not only that one cannot trust those with gilded words, even one ’s children. Yet, the world should not be devoid of hope and love: even the shamed King Lear eventually finds a brief moment of comfort in Cordelia and Kent, who did not seem honest at first, but remind with him loyally to the end.
