| Dishonesty |
Dishonesty is antithesis of honesty. It makes a man to think and do a work which is opposite to all
sorts of moral and natural laws. As honesty opens the door for bringing nobler
qualities, dishonesty shuts the door from them. Dishonesty corrupts the purity
of the mind and helps the growth of vice, such as faithlessness, backbiting,
cheating, hypocrisy and the likes. It casts around it a sense of suspicion and
distrust.
Dishonesty arises from a sense of making oneself
gainer at the cost of others. Whatever a man gains by this means is really by
causing loss to others. So it is closely linked up with selfishness. The
influence of dishonesty upon men and especially upon men of weak character is
more than that of honesty. For man is by nature a follower of imitation and he
picks up vice more quickly than virtue; because, vice is acquired mainly for
feeding the low desire of instinct. But the attainment of virtue calls for a
great deal of pain, effort, sacrifice and knowledge. Dishonesty however kept
concealed, is sure to expose itself in the long run. And how? Well, that will
be seen when you will turn over the next few pages.
