"No legacy is so rich as honesty" - William Shakespeare
Honesty is the best policy, we've been hearing this dictum since our nursery classes. But what is it, what does it mean in real life, especially in context of a public service. Why be honest? The question has puzzled human minds since time of Plato or even before. Has honesty any considerable utility for the society which is becoming more materialistic? If yes, how so? If not, why we still regard it as essential civic virtue?
In a series of blogs, I plan to put different dimensions of honesty with aim that readers get comprehensive understanding and a sense to truly imbibe honesty as their cardinal virtues .
- What is honesty ?
- Why be honest ?
- Impediments in being honest ?
- How to be honest ? Different ways to inculcate Honesty in the society ?
- Efficacy of Laws, Rules, Regulations and Institutions in enforcing honesty in governance.
- Is 'Honesty' antithetical to 'Efficiency' in an organisation ?
