Honesty is the best policy


Honesty is usually defined as the willingness to tell the truth. An honest person finds it difficult to lie.

Since in our daily lives we get forced to lie, even in the most innocent way, we cannot call ourselves "honest".

However, the main meaning of this adjective is to tell the truth in important situations. An honest person will never steal or help others steal. An honest person will never withhold his or her mistakes (specially when they caused an important damage).

Nowadays, it is getting more and more difficult for honest people to succeed. In this society it is more important to keep a veneer than to rectify what is wrong.

Everyday we see how corrupt people get richer while honest people die poor. We see people getting fired because they didn't "play along" with their bosses.

To keep honest in this society is difficult, but is possible. It is worse to do things that cause damage to thirds, it is worse to lie to ourselves, it is worse when you can't sleep at night knowing that you are not doing things well.

I prefer to be honest. What do you prefer?
