In modern world, honesty has lost its meaning. Wealth plays an important role in man’s life today. Value of
money has gone high. Everyone wants to become rich without hard labour. He does not hesitate to adopt any
means at all to become rich. But still some people appreciate honesty. All religions lay great emphasis on
honesty.
An honest man is always brave. He is not afraid of anybody. Usually, he has to face many problems. He is
truthful and is liked by everybody. On the other hand, liars, greedy and cunning people earn more money but
they are not liked by people.
Honesty should be maintained everywhere, at home, in school, among friends and even in the playground.
An honest person always obeys the law, so he is free from serious trouble.
Honesty also gives rise to spiritual strength. So, one takes up any challenge with confidence. On the other
hand, a dishonest person can never be sure of anything. He is always busy plotting. So, he never gets peace.
An honest man is rewarded with success. Even after his death, people remember him. He gets love and
respect from others.
Dishonesty, no doubt, gives benefits sometimes, but those benefits are temporary and short-lived. It kills our
soul and snatches away our peace of mind. It is not an easy job to remain honest in this world. One needs
enough courage and sacrifice to be honest. But even then honesty has its own value and comes out victorious
in the long run.
