Fair game please!


A difficult topic to discuss about. Anytime there is a demand or requirement for honesty, integrity, compassion, altruism, faithfulness and other value-based trait, then the immediate reaction is to move out from such zone or not talk about it. People generally categorize these values under moral science category and  think it has to be learnt during  school days only. Moreover, people assume they have got enough from their parents and elders too, in the form of lectures while they were frustrated and it has no implication  while dealing in real life whatsoever. Am I right?

Shiv Khera in his book ‘You can win’ emphasizes on value education; “Education that builds fundamental traits of character--such as honesty, compassion, courage, persistence and responsibility--is absolutely essential. We don't need more academic education; we need more values education. I would stress that a person who is morally educated will be a lot better equipped to move up in life or succeed than a morally bankrupt person with excellent academic qualifications.”.  It is unfortunate to live in a world and a society where we need to be constantly vigilant in order not to be cheated

If you want to buy a product you need to already have a good amount of knowledge of its features and price in the market or you end up being cheated with sub-standard product and shelling out exorbitant price for it. Actually, if you notice, it is just not possible to be aware of everything all the time and during such situation we want to take the help of “TRUST”, which works well sometimes but  at several cases we get dumped too. 

Sometimes people go to an extent of even taking the name of God to swear in order to make you and me believe that everything they do is fair and yet cheat us brazenly. There are also people with whom we are familiar who are waiting to take a better advantage of us. 

Personal corruption overshadows in all the spectrum of our life. This is the real cancer that can spread from us to our children and they learn to survive this way in an even professional way. Can we take the initiative to apply the values that are connected to God to become our lifestyle? Your prayers and commitment to a real God will make you a better person and help all of us to live in a better place. Think about it!
