It's Really Hard to Find Honest People

Certainly! We are growing in numbers, as the sand of the sea. People are continually living in the world, multiplying and spreading across every continent and down to every islands. Looking for the things they wanted in life, every thing common, being lead by their famous ambitions to be on top of the world. Some are contented with what they have in life but many aren't. Some lived in simplicity yet some are filled with luxurious living. And I guess many do forget to be honest for themselves, for their companion, their family and every people around them, day by day. 

Is to be honest is foolishness? For me, honesty is what brings people to light and understanding. Honesty as commonly said, "is the best policy". Honesty is to be true to yourself, to God and every people you meet whether it be someone you know or a stranger. If all men were honest, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Nothing to worry about and all is well. People will have so much peace and happiness living harmoniously in this earth given to us by our Creator and God. No one will ever think evil against their fellow being. 

But why is that there are dishonest men? That is the big question. When men are dishonest, they will lead them to a more evil natures.

I'm really touched by a story I read from yahoo, concerning Robert Adams. Adams found a plastic bag in a situation where after his work he decided to take an ice-cold drink. He wanted to something to eat but he doesn't have enough money. The bag contained half full of money which includes receipts and checks but he returned it to the right owner not thinking (maybe) a single thought to take the money with him. And what really touched me is the words he said, "it's not my money. I shouldn't take it. I don't care if you put zero on there, I wasn't raised to take money that isn't mine." He credited his parents for teaching him the right and wrong.

Someone had testified of his goodness. The owner of Senor Taco Restaurant, Onesimo Santillan said that he was not surprised of this old time customer he had. He said, "He has been coming for years, always orders the same thing, very nice guy." And further he said, "It's hard to find people like that, honest people."

This story along with those I've heard and read concerning honesty is worthy of emulation. It's really good to have someone who is honest and a true human being. I know we are looking for this kind of person but I guess is very rare.
