The main goal of present paper is comparative analysis of idiomatic expression s in domains of “honesty and betrayal” through extraction of their Image schemas, and investigation of effect of “environment” on “mindset” of three language speakers of Farsi, English and French, according to the cognitive approach of Johnson and Lakoff (1980). 60 idioms in two domains in three languages are considered as data. Results reveal that container image schema is main pattern, employed by three language structures to conceptualize ethical abstract concepts and 100 percent usage of embodiment in all schemas is observable. Variations of cultural context and setting (environment) results in variations of structures and thus, different mental perceptions arise from same concepts. Results highlight role of "environment in succession of "environment-embodied language-mindset": high percentage of force and vertical direction image schemas in Farsi in “betrayal” domain inspires the intensity of violence and hierarchy of power and betrayal over weakness and honesty in social terms on mindset of speakers. However for the concept of “honesty”. Farsi language illustrates a “high” place in comparison with the low place of “betrayal” which can be justified according to moral and religious beliefs of the speech community. English, which employs greater percentage of path and surface schemas, leads the viewpoint of its speakers towards the necessity of direct expression of truth and high amount of force schema in honesty in French, emphasizes the free expression of opinion approach and audacity of revealing the information as social norms for its speakers.
