Honesty and Integrity

Our country has been plagued by scandal after scandal without seeing any end on the broiling political clamor for change. In other countries, businesses going under, encountering tax problems, faces probes and embarassments.

What's wrong with people nowadays? It because everyone thought of getting away with a small mistake, that even a bribe is being deemed a favor, a gift that necessitates to be reciprocated with another favor.

In any course of life, be it at work, in school, or at play from the high office of the land to the lowly citizen, everyone should have the integrity and will power to commit the highest standard of individualism.

I remember once living with friends and we had a dilemma back then that we usually lose our stuffs especially jewelry and money. Since we have no other way of finding out who is the real culprit, it could either be a ghost or elves playing on us, as one of our housemate suggested.

We decided to play a game one evening, its a scrabble game but theres a pot of money for the taking, Four players playing a friendly game and suddenly one decided to cheat on all, thus we found out who amongst us is willing to cheat for a small amount of money.

We are all born and raise to be good and its our innate to be helpful unfortunately being greedy is also an innate instinct in all of us.  May we overcome our selfish intentions for the greater good of all.
