Tell the Truth, and $500,000 is yours!
“Have you ever fled the scene of a car accident that was your fault?”
“Did you ever wake up in bed with a man whose name you could not remember?”
“Have you ever cheated on your boyfriend?”
Above are such harsh questions to a person in front of the crowd. But if the true answers value $500,000, would you like to give them out?
Recently there appears a special TV programme in the US, which is amazingly hottest, to reveal one’s secrets in front of all the audience, including his or her beloved family and best friend. Its name is THE MOMENT OF TRUTH. All of the participants have undergone a rigorous polygraph exam, and if one gets caught in even one lie, he or she loses everything, and the game is over. So you see, what they can tell is the whole truth and nothing but truth, if they want to walk away with the money-up to $500,000. Such a huge temptation! No wonder there are so many braves keeping trying even if so much humiliation is waiting for them.
Who are still together, whose relationship has broken up, and who is up here until the show got them fired?
The consequences always rush into two extremes. Some claim that the relationship with best friend and family is better than ever. However, some startling confessions do tear family, friends or lovers apart.
The host’s favorite beginning word is that “Is there an honest person left in America? The time has come to face!” Everybody has secrets. Is it called HONEST when one confesses all the time? Or maybe CRUEL is more appropriate? What the hell is the meaning of this TV show? Definitely, a commercial TV show caters to the audience to make profit. Maybe it offers a perfect chance for mass to snoop others’ shameful secrets above board without censure, or to get considerably undulating emotions from the thrilling moment when the machine discloses whether the answer is true or not. Does that the show is highly popular indicate that nowaday people hold twisted souls in their void heart, doesn’t it?
It’s time to ponder on this.

ReplyDeleteHa! I've seen this special programme before,and it was said that many families under the burden mently were broken after the husband or wife joined this show and told the secrets.
ReplyDeleteI think sometimes ,we have the very right to keep our own secrets.On purpose of winning that much money joining this is just to catch eye balls of audiences,of course ,to some extent.
I think,we cannot always tell the truth,because there are a lot of secrets and white lies,meybe you can get the money,but I think you aren't happy.
ReplyDeleteTo say or not to say,it's a question! But which kind of life do you want? Do you want to live in grief but know the truth, or live a happy life without knowing the truth?
ReplyDeleteBy the way ,happy birthday.
That's a very interesting topic, Ye Mei! I do agree with you that people's minds and souls are pretty twisted to enjoy watching the show and to take part in it with the hope of winning the game. You could tell us more about why you think this way. Please watch the language though.:)
ReplyDeleteyour blog is so unicle!i haven't found this function yet
ReplyDeletenot telling the truth sometimes is a kind of defense,which is needed in this infermation society
Great！ It seems that you are born with the ability to catch the readers' eyes! But it is really a serious topic about the truth of secret. Something is better to be unknown or ignored than being revealed, just like scars, which may blood again when it is nearly healed.
