We have studied in our moral science classes that 'Honesty is the best policy'.
How far is it true or does this even hold good in today's world?
Or has the time come to rephrase or reconsider our views?
From the lessons i have learned in life, especially since after marriage, i have come to understand that 'Honest people are like straight trees which get cut first' as was told by my ex-boss who is no more. I hadn't understood his words then but today when i look back at the happenings of the past week, i completely agree to his words which have struck my mind like lightning.
Sadly, i wonder if the values that we impart our children are of no use in this world which is filled with people who are self-centered and opportunists. Earlier it was a matter of competitiveness to support the Darwin's theory- the survival of fittest, Off lately its jealousy and the tendency to pull the other person down in order to reach the top that is strengthening Darwin.
Will there be a change of time such that history repeats and people turn out to be as they have been earlier or is the world entering the black hole or into the nothingness that whatever we give doesn't get recognized let alone acknowledged.
Dear God.. This is my sincere prayer to you to make the world a better place to live in. Please.
