yes, it's quite hard to find really honest people who put the needs of others first before theirs. I just watched a story on TV about this tricycle driver who returned a large sum of money even though he also needed it badly for his son in need of an operation. If only politicians would have this attitude too, being responsible and not succumbing to temptations.. the wold would be a better place.

Yes i agree with this, people now a days don't have the courage to speak the truth especially when it comes to money. Almost every people lie in every way they can. This makes the world a nasty place to live in. That's why when someone tells the truth or become honest, people think that they're a a bit odd.

Yes, your right because of hardship in life people thinking turn to greed.They want more even they have enough.So finding an honest man this days are very rare and I salute them for their good deed.I guess they are reared like that and even they are suffering they still do what is right. thanks for your time my friend.

Whenever a cashier gives me too much money by mistake, I always return it, no matter how large the sum is. I'm a Christian, so it's not me being noble, it's me doing what God wants me to do. I'm just doing what God wishes...it makes life so much easier.

Yes, I agree with your principles in life.Being Christian we must do what God wants us to do.And I'm happy for the man too for setting an example of selflessness even though he himself needed money for his son.Thanks for the time my friend

Friend it is very difficult to find out honest people not only in the society but also in all over the world. No one is honest even we also because behind us anybody can tell no they are not honest so we are also not honest. At least related to money matter no one is honest even some time our family members also.

Yeah, your absolutely right my friend.Honest people are rare this days maybe because people turn to materialism and it is contagious.So if you see someone who amass huge wealth through illegal means others get envious, so they might do it as well. So doing noble acts rarely happens and when it does it became a big news.thanks for your time my friend

It's been said that honesty is the best policy. It sounds like the simplest thing in the world, but being truly honest with others and with yourself can be a real challenge. Political correctness, being sensitive of other people's feelings, and facing uncomfortable truths about yourself usually requires lots of patience, vigilance and hard work.

Yeah, your right a very simple thing but many people don't want to practice.It's been taught by our parents over and over again but we prefer to ignore it.A Godly did but people do otherwise.Thanks for your response my friend.

There are few people who have that kind of principles in life.We must salute them for setting as an example because as a man we all have that qualities but sadly most of us don't want to show or do it but prefer the opposite.Thanks for your response my friend.

Yes I've been hearing on the news about drivers returning money and other items left by their passengers even though they also badly need money. Bless them, they are indeed heroes. What's interesting is why a lot of people forget about their important things. I swear if I'm travelling and I have with me a large sum of money, all my attention will be focused on that.

Yes sometimes people tend to forget things but a large sum of money is different.He should be more careful, it's good it has been returned.Finding honest people now a days is very rare I guess most people need money.But it's really inspiring to know that the man who returned it need money he did what he thinks is right and I salute him for that.Thanks for your time my friend.

Corrupt politicians have already succumbed to their demons so it'll be hard for them to return to being honest. They can if they wanted to but it'll be hard. I know because it's just like any vices that we have. The processes that our mind undertake is pretty much the same. If a kid already how to steal a small amount of money from his parents, he'd pretty much do it again. There's also the possibility of him getting worse and stealing an handful from strangers. This can also develop into a mental sickness.

You said it right my friend once your hooked on something it's very hard to cure it.Our tendency is to go deeper and even want more. Especially those who are in power once they grab your hand their next move will be your whole being. But it's really inspiring to know that there are still some people who prefer to stand out from the rest.Thanks for your response my friend.

Honest people are really something to behold but technically speaking, they are not that much more rare then they were in times past, that they are today. I just think that we are exposed to far more dishonest people in this day and age, then we are honest people. Therefore, honest people do seem to be fairly rare and thus when we are exposed to them, it is really something that is a great thing. Therefore, honest is something that is really something that should be appreciated and when it happens it is. As you said, these people are often times in the heroes of the world and they are people who should be hailed for standing out with honest. However, really, honesty should not be something that should be all that noticed when it all comes down to it. It should not be something that is really rare to say the very least. It is just something that are really going to be there, something that is going to be present in many ways. It is just something that should be a common part of society. Honesty should be something that should be more common than it really is. However, sadly it is not. Therefore, those who are honest stand out above the fact and in some ways, a lot of us have been immune to the more dishonest nature of a lot of people. That is just the way that it is a lot of the time and its really sad that its that way.

Yes it's really sad that people now a days became materialistic, greedy and without satisfaction.I guess the later is the true nature of man.I agree that honest people are very rare this days but in my opinion we all have that trait within us.The problem is we don't want to practice it. So if we found one he/she stands out because dishonest people outnumber them.Thanks for your time my friend.

It's very refreshing to hear news about such people who do such great deeds in a world where media tends to present all kinds of thieves and scammers,a fact which creates the impression that the world is full of crooks and there are few honest people,sop whenever such a case is presented it shows us that there are till many honest people,and I suppose this should also be an example for many politicians to stop following their interests at any cost,but I'm afraid they won't follow that example because they don't really care about making the world a better place,they only want things to be better for themselves.

Yes, with all the unpleasant news that we hear and see everyday it's really a consolation to know that there are still people who shows noble did to inspire us.And they are rare this days because more people tend to do the opposite, and these people only thinks for themselves who wants more until they are hooked on it.Thanks for your time my friend.

Yes. I agree with you. Honest people are honest throughout their life. Majority are people who become corrupt on being given power. Politicians will not become people who can resist temptations because they have power and absolute power corrupts more absolutely. Common people are those who will not tell lies, who will not do something wrong for getting some undue favor. Most of them will be mylottians because these are the people who struggle, work for getting their earnings.

We can say that man by nature are honest, it's the surroundings or the way they are brought up is the cause.Like you said about the people in power once they are there they don't want to give it away.But there are still some who stick to their principles in life like the man on my topic.Yes we at mylot are honest earners we earn the noble way.thanks for the response my friend.

Hi Stanley! I rarely hear news and stories about honesty, that is why when i hear someone being honest i really share it with my son. For me, as a mother, I would like to instill in my son's mind that honesty is an important attitude we have to possess because without such character we could go wrong. Whatever career one will end up, when dishonesty is there, it will just ruin everything.

Your absolutely right my friend.As a parent we should teach our children that being honest is one of the noblest way a man should possess.Honesty is one of the traits that he can be proud of.And it's also contagious I think because if you set as an example others will follow too.Thanks for your time my friend d
