Let us value honesty

It is not wise to harp on 100 percent honesty making a virtue of it. practising it in a society which does not value it . It is difficult for everyone around you if you look at the world around you through the prism of honesty and condemning every body. A little bit of dishonesty will add to personal and global happiness
 
Dear Krish,

Despite the harsh environment there are honest people...My OP is to celebrate honest acts & thereby honest people and look at the drivers of honesty

I am an optimist and even if there is a delta (small) positive change in our behaviors after reading this, I will construe it as a victory!

Sir,

I really appreciate this.

there is nothing called 100 percent honesty or dishonesty. the choice is between various shades of honesty in a scale of 0 to 100 percent .incremental change in behavior gives you happiness so be it. think of the price a person pays to bring about this change.there was an interesting movie in hindi -satyakaam by hrishikesh mukherjee. what happens to the hero trying to practise honesty in work place
 
When talking about percentage, this story comes to my mind'

"A POND FULL OF MILK.”

Once there was a king who told some of his workers to dig a pond. Once the pond was dug, the king made an announcement to his people saying that one person from each household has to bring a glass of milk during the night and pour it into the pond. So,the pond should be full of milk by the morning. After receiving the order, everyone went home.

One man prepared to take the milk during the night. He thought that since everyone will bring milk, he could just hide a glass of water and pour inside the pond. Because it will be dark atnight, no one will notice. So he quickly went and poured the water in the pond and came back. In the morning, the king came to visit the pond and to his surprise the pond was only filled with water! What has happened is that everyone was thinking like the other man that “I don't have to put the milk, someone else will do it.”

We accomplish in proportion to the attempts we make. IMHO what is important is attitude and attempt.

M H Hammabba of Padubidri had come along with his family for shopping. On returning home after the shopping spree, Hammabba's daughter-in-law realized that she had lost a gold necklace she had been wearing. The necklace, weighing 8 sovereigns, was worth Rs 2 lac.
Meanwhile, Peter Vincent Furtado of Kudalthota in Kodavoor gram, a security guard at Harsha store which the family had visited, found the lost necklace fallen in front of the store, and informed his employers. The store management who saw an advertisement about the lost ornament in the newspaper in turn contacted its owner.
Benegal Nagappa, assistant general manager of Harsha, handed over the ornament to Hammabba on January 31. Peter was given a suitable gift in appreciation of his sincerity.
Harsha’s public relation manager Jayaram, Siddiq Hassan of Akarshan Gold, and Abdul Hameed of Padubidri Ujwal Print were present.
