Honesty

A newborn baby is the honest form of a soul of a human being. I believe, we may have done something good in our previous life, so we have got this human being life. We should thank ourselves as we don’t get anything without our own deeds. As we grow up, slowly we get a cover of dirt called lies or falsehood. Then we get in other bad characters like selfishness, fraudulent behavior, Jealousy, etc. We all have truthfulness naturally. Falsehood comes unnaturally means we add it in our character from outside. It's not our base character.    

But when we complete childhood, honesty becomes a task to achieve as a goal. Although It’s very difficult to achieve. I remember few incidents. One of them confused me about honesty.  During my college days, I used to go by a city bus, a local transport. That day I was just standing at the bus stop waiting for the bus. I had 200bucks in my wallet. Suddenly a transgender came and asked for money. I got really afraid of her without any reason and I paid 100bucks instead of 10bucks in a hurry to rid of him. A man was observing what happened to me. 

Once the transgender moved away, he immediately asked me, “Hey, I have seen everything. Why you gave so much money to him?”  

I said, “What could I do? I was afraid of him.”  

He replied, “Wait here only. I will bring back the money.”  

Without waiting for my consent he ran towards the transgender. 

While he was running I started thinking, “Who says there is no humanity in the world? See this man is so honest that he is fighting for me. Even though I don’t know him.”  

Now the man reached near to the transgender and he pushed him ahead and said something which I could not listen to. But I saw him taking back my money. Looking at him, I was happy as I thought I would get all the money back. But once he reached me he gave only 50bucks. Remaining he kept.  

I asked, “ but I paid 100bucks. You are paying back only 50." He said, “ 50 is the charge to take back money from him.”  

I just kept looking at him. Now in this incident, who is the real honest, me, the man who helped or the transgender?  

Like this honesty looks easy to understand but is very difficult in today's world.

    Honesty is a treasure since it is something difficult to find in people but it exists and must be treasured

The purity of thought

  Everything in the world in its purest form becomes its best form. The water when achieves its purest form becomes the sweetest in the taste. When air is in its purest form it becomes the freshest air. The same thing happens with our minds as well. If you remove all your possessiveness from the mind, the mind works most beautifully. If your thoughts are pure, you become the best person.  Bhagwan Mahaveer, Lord Ram left everything and become God. Lord Jesus left this world on the cross and it became the symbol of Christians.  Lord Gautam Buddha also left his extra luxurious life as a king and became a saint. When your soul starts its purification, material possessiveness goes away from the soul.  There was a rich person living in a palace. He was a miser, would not spend a single penny extra, or would not help anybody. Once there was a flood in the town. His palace got immersed in water. He was on the top of the palace.  A man with a boat came and as...

Mystery of a shoe bomb

     Lily unlocked the back door of the thrift store using a key that didn't belong to her. She entered the store with silent footsteps. It was late at night, and the only people in the store were security guards stationed outside. Lily had entered the store from the backyard as both security guards were on the front side dealing with a psycho client who was yelling at the business for poor product quality. She dashed towards the processing portion of the business, where donated items are accepted, verified, and refurbished. There were several cameras, wires, and other items that were kept discretely. She instantly began looking in the midst of the mayhem. She found the camera after some searching. There was some data on the camera chip that may assist Lily save her boyfriend.

Sacrifice

Human life is incomplete without sacrifice. But if we have no other option than to sacrifice something is not actually a sacrifice. It is called helplessness. It has an altogether different system. Also, sacrifice is always to give something and not taking out the life of anybody or anything. When we have lots of options by which we can possess more than what we have or there is no need to donate something to somebody but still if we sacrifice or donate for someone’s betterment is actually a sacrifice.  As human beings, we live in society. So it is our duty to donate what society needed. This donation can be small or big but it should be as per society’s requirement.   Donation by pure heart gives the best result in terms of real happiness and inner peace.  Suppose you are walking on the road with a vegan sandwich in hand. And you see a very poor small orphan boy, very hungry crying for food, ask you the sandwich. You already had food. But you have taken ...
