Honesty is dead. Period. End of story. The majority of people in this world are selfish, greedy, and untrustworthy. Now I'm not saying this is true for everyone, but most people are dishonest. People have no integrity anymore. You see a wallet on the ground, and you pocket it. Fifty years ago, that same wallet would have been turned in and returned to the rightful owner. But today, you can almost 100% guarantee that if you lose your wallet or purse or bag, you can kiss it goodbye because you won't be seeing it again. The problem is that dishonest people never receive the consequences of their actions. They do something dishonest and nothing bad happens. So what's to stop them from doing it again? They fall into comfortable zones of being dishonest and then feel that they shouldn't have to change their ways. It sickens me.
Academic Honesty is another touchy subject for me. CHEATING IS WRONG. YA HEAR ME? WRONG. I have never cheated. Not once. And I don't plan to. Why? IT'S WRONG. I hear about people cheating all the time and I swear I just wanna sock them in the face. This is College people. It's time to grow up and accept that you're probably going to have to work hard and study your you-know-what off if you want to go anywhere in life. Aaaaaannnnnnd that's how I feel about that.
Oh and by the way, since we're being honest, yes this blog post is late. It was my birthday on Tuesday and I just plum forgot to do it. Oops. Honest mistake.Oh and sorry if I offended any part-time cheaters out there. It's just the way I feel.
Anyways, see ya in class.

Lol, when I saw "end of story" I thought it was going to be a very short post. I like your no excuses approach, honesty is a good thing, we shouldn't be avoiding it. I'd like to think i'd give the wallet back with all the money in it, but i've never been presented with such a situation. Also, hope you had a very happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI don't really care when others cheat or not. People now don't care and or, in other words, they don't give a damn. It's been rooted into them and they won't let it go. If you believe in the God of the bible and still you're dishonest you're trash. However, if you don't really believe in anything, then cheating or not, whatever helps you get closer to your objective is the best thing to do. Btw I'm on honesty's side.
