“We live with cultural pressures unrelentingly
focused upon free market competition and
consumption, as if the meaning of life is
compete, consume, and die.”

Questions arises in mind of a common man
Is there any evidence that honesty is the best policy?
Why do we allow this? Why are we not more careful with dishonest people?
So why are we honest?
What are the other alternatives for society?
![Page 10: Honesty is a best policy](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5485f147b4af9ff1488b470b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why are we honest?
Gross Exaggeration: Loss of Power & Snipping,
Pride in Family, Friends and Community,
Keep Promises Because We Want To,
Honesty is a Moral Choice – People are honest because they want to, not because they have to,
Concepts of Trust & Virtue would be Empty – If bad faith and wickedness were not financially rewarding
![Page 11: Honesty is a best policy](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5485f147b4af9ff1488b470b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What are the other alternatives for our society?
TIT for TAT World (punishment) –> Stagnation
All of Us Can Become Cheats –> Chaos
World with Rules For Everything –> Do we want to live in such a world PERFERRED OPTION: MORAL COMPASS
Trust & Tolerance for Broken Promises –> Encourages Risk Taking Leading to Innovation & Better World Tomorrow

Why Profit is more important than Honesty?
Being honest is just a choice but profit making is necessary.
Honesty can’t be measured and can be bypassed but profit indicates the growth.
At the time of crises honesty is not a substitute of profit.
Everyone wants to see result – Result oriented & the means are neglected.
