Amplification : Honesty is the best policy

Honesty is the best policy

We may accomplish things in two ways -- honestly and dishonestly. If we become honest in our actions, we will be praised. If we become dishonest, we will be cursed. It is a moral question whether one will be honest or not. Being honest means following a just procedure to perform a job without taking any benefit for personal interest. It is very easy to be dishonest. But its consequence may be disastrous in one's life. If one's dishonesty is revealed to others, he will lose their trust. They will not respect him anymore. In this situation he will feel uneasy and uncomfortable. He will find himself debased as a human being, hated by others. In course of time, his own respect for himself will perish and he will hate himself. Life will be unbearable for him, unworthy of living. So by being dishonest one only demeans and harms oneself. On the other hand, if one is honest he will always find peace in mind. Others will rely and confide on him which will help him to rise upwards in life. At home and office, everywhere, honesty is commended. Honesty at home may create a pleasant living atmosphere which has a positive impact on the children’s mind. Lonesty in office will be appreciated by the authorities, who will reward the honest person with better position and remuneration. Dishonesty may bring some undue benefits for a person temporarily but in the long run he becomes a loser. Dishonesty is a temptation which one must resist with moral power. If there is opportunity of being dishonest he must avoid it for greater gain in life. Honesty takes one to heaven but dishonesty takes one to hell. Dishonesty is never right while honesty is welcome. In all cases honesty is the best policy.
