Honesty may or may not be the best policy in a corrupt society but it is
The basis of a virtuous life. Honesty means truthfulness in though, speech
And action. Unfortunately, many people think that the most important thing
In life is to succeed. They want to get rich and rise to the top as quickly as
Possible. They do not object to unfair means, if these prove helpful in the
Achievement of their ambition. Dishonesty and deceit appear very successful
At least for sometime. Still we believe that dishonesty is a bad thing. We preach
Honesty to others but disregard it when it puts limits on our own freedom of
Action. Of course it is very difficult to be honest is a dishonest society. It puts
You in a position of definite disadvantage. You may not be able to become rich
By honest means, while others will amass fortunes by dishonesty and deceit and
Fraud. Still, there is no doubt that dishonesty is a very dangerous evil that destroys
The best virtues of an individual as well as of a society. All the social evils, political
Ills and personal wrongs are the results of dishonesty. The people who live and succeed
By dishonest means cannot select and sincere leaders. The people who gain power
Through dishonesty means, rule by bribe, nepotism and terror. Thus the whole society
Is corrupted success is a good thing only when attained by honest and fair means
Otherwise it is a plague that destroy whatever comes into contact with it. A dishonest person cannot be trusted for him
