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

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.

The boss and The embarrassment

 For my company's party, my boss and I wanted to go to a party hall. We started from the company itself, in his car. Everyone else left first. We were late because we had some work to do. Those were the days when I was extremely fortunate to work for the ideal company, ideal boss, and ideal location. Everything felt like a dream. My boss used to be very nice to us. He knew the name of the party hall but not the exact location. I asked him if he knew the address. But he was confident that we would figure out the location once we reached there. What can a subordinate do? I nodded my head.  We arrived at the location. There were no lights in the vicinity. He was certain that the Party hall was nearby, but we couldn't pinpoint the exact location. We continued our search on the road for some time. But we couldn't figure out where it was. So I suggested calling HR to confirm the location. "Don't worry, gentleman," he said. "We'll find out." M

"A thief is a thief, whether he steals a cucumber or a diamond .”

Theft is a big profession in the world. From small level servants to big level people, can work under this profession. They earn a lot of tax-free money. I met lots of thieves in a different stages of my life. To take any object without the knowledge of the owner of the object is a theft. Every thief has his own reasons to do a theft.   I  was a child when I met a thief who used to take away children. That day, I was with my Aunt. We went to the dentist for some dental work. After that, we went to a medical shop. As I remember, I was just standing outside of the shop. My aunt was in the shop. A woman having one small child in hand came to me. She said “Come, I will give you chocolate” and she held my hand and started pulling me with her. I was so dumb that I had started walking with her silently. My aunt came back from the shop and to her surprise, I was not there on road. When she saw both sides of the road, she noticed that I was going with a lady with a child in
