HONESTY
A lie has speed, but truth has endurance. If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything. Honesty pays, but it doesn’t seem to pay enough to suit some people.
Goodness is about character. Integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral and courage they like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.
