Living a worthy life has to do with honesty, but to my amazement dishonesty is the order of the day now, people don't care about the truth anymore. Gone are the days that we would want to take a decision and we will be wondering what people will say. These days we care less about what the world would say o, we are just living our lives to please ourselves. You can call dishonesty any name, it's an act of fraud, lack of integrity. But no matter how spoilt the world is today we still have people with integrity, people that won't sell their honesty for anything, they stand on the truth no matter what you do to them.

I came in contact with a man that really disappoints me because as an elderly man I expected him to fight for his old age and the life after not what he stands to gain anymore, just because he was promised a token amount of money he sold his integrity and lied, it was expected of him as an elderly man to shed more light on the case but instead he couldn't help the case he just refuel the fire. The actors and actresses in home movies always show us the practical picture of people living a dishonest live and the consequences after. A child don't have to be taught how to lie before he/she begins to lie, this is inbuilt in every human, it takes God's grace and self discipline to overcome the power of dishonesty.

Greed

Greed is an intense and selfish desire for something especially wealth, power or food. This word greed is also one of the factors that contributed to dishonesty in our society today. That selfish desire to acquire more is always in the heart of man, we want to make more money, acquire more wealth by fire by force. Conveteousness leads to greed and greed leads to dishonesty. Anything money these days tickles the ears that's the only language we speak in this present generation anything else aside that does not matter to people. It takes grace to overcome the spirit of greed because every human has the tendencies to acquire more,more and more but self control is the only thing that keep us from being under the influence of greed.

In conclusion

In whatever we do, let's just remember that integrity matters alot, a good name is to be chosen rather than great riches. Don't soil your good name in the mud all because you want to please people.

I hope you enjoy reading this and Iwill be expecting your comments in my box. Enjoyy.

There is no way we can decipher greed from dishonesty. They move hand in hand. And I think one of the fuels of this act, is money. The urge to acquire wealth can make one do terrible things
