Honesty is a great virtue which is adored all over the world. It is rare to find a truly honest man. A man is born with the quality of honesty, and then, it depends how he is brought up by his parents.

If the parents are themselves honest, it cannot be confidently said that their children will also be honest, although the children of honest parents are generally found to be honest and disciplined in life.,

As the sun is known to all by its light and energy, so an honest person can also be identified by his nature and behav¡©iour. An honest man succeeds in life better than a dishonest man. He is trusted by the people, and respected for his moral character. A dishonest person may cheat some people some time, but not all the time.

The Bible says, "Our sin will find us out". Dishonesty is a sin which must come out sooner or later. A dishonest person is hated and disbelieved by all, and does not get support or sympathy from anyone. Thus his life becomes miserable.

History tells us how honest men in the world have prospered in life by their hard labour and sincere efforts. An honest man becomes morally strong. He keeps his head high in the society. His character is like a sharp sword made of stainless steel.

To err is human. If an honest man commits a mistake or does anything wrong, he will be excused by the people, because everyone will accept the fact that he must have done it by mistake or ignorance. But if the same misdeed is committed by a dishonest man, they will not excuse him, because none believes him.

Thus an honest man moves in the society freely like pure and sacred flower spreading sweet smell in all direc¡©tions. But when a dishonest man is met on the road, people try to avoid his sight or company lest they should fall into his evil trap or get into some trouble for nothing.

So it is said, 'honesty is the best policy'. One, who remains honest all his life, honesty becomes his goodwill in the life's game. It is honesty that leads him to his goal. He becomes fearless, straightforward, outspoken, and possesses clear conception of everything on earth; and hence he is capable of taking correct decision and giving faultless judge¡©ment in any matter.
