truth morals

We often talk about big values and forget the small cheatings we keep doing in life, we say that we don’t like people who speak lie but we often end up manipulating things in a way that we hide the truth. All of us face many such situations in life and we are no saints that I expect you to change over a day, and how can I when I myself keep fighting with myself every day to ensure I don’t commit any mistake today, the battle that I fight every day and that troubles me is to have control over my thought process, my mind thinks probably faster than a nuclear reaction and while I keep talking about being positive and have positive thinking, I would confess that I too get negative thoughts and it takes me time to fight them out of my mind.

Coming back to the small cheatings that we all do and yet name ourselves as having high moral values are following,

• How many times have you passed on the fake currency that has come your way through someone?
• How many of you submit fake rent receipts to save tax?
• How many times have you submitted fake reimbursement slips?
• How many times do you end up lying to people by saying simple things like you are busy, or out with someone else?
• How often do you manipulate facts?

They would be endless things that you would probably start feeling ashamed of now, and trust me you would ready to justify each one of them, but that is yet another attempt to ignore truth and run away from facts. If you actually believe that you are right and so are your actions, then you would always be strong enough to speak the truth.

It’s easy to talk big and for me also to write it here, but it’s equally difficult to stop lying and have control on the common addiction that kills our morals every day.
