It Pays To Be Honest


By Linda D., Journalist


It Pays To Be Honest .......Dishonesty has existed since the garden of Eden. Still, most cultures and societies value honesty and view lying and deception as undesirable and reprehensible. Being considered trustworthy is something to be proud of. Increasingly, though, dishonesty is regarded as necessary in order to survive in modern society. How do you feel about it? Is honesty worth cultivating? What is your standard for deciding what is honest behavior and what is not? Being honest means, first of all , being honest with ourselves. We often believe what we want to believe rather than what is right or true. How easy it is for us to shift the blame from ourselves to someone else! Honesty ,or the lack of it, influences how you are viewed by others. If people learned that you have deceived them even once, you will lose their trust, and that is not easily regained, If, on the other hand, you are truthful and honest , you will build a reputation as a person of integrity, worthy of trust. Trust worthiness and integrity have to be earned. Fine conduct does not go unnoticed. It takes endurance and hard work to turn away from old habits of conduct, and to refuse to collaborate with those who were scheming to defraud others that may even cost them their life. To be honest at all times may have its price, but the clean conscience that results is worth far more than anything it may cost. In the long run, being honest and upright pays the richest dividends. The truth is that a good relationship with God is priceless . Why resort to something dishonest in order to save face or gain some illegal advantage? In the long run , if you think about it what price are you willing to pay? The cost is very well something your cannot afford, time wasted "jail" , $$$$, or your life. Food for thought .............Show me who your friends are....and I will show you who YOU are........ IT PAYS TO BE HONEST!!!!!!!!!
