Few years ago, I was also a victim of temptation. I have gone through a lot of things and
mistakes. You will just have to realize that we should learn from it and
do not repeat the same mistake again. There are lots of instances when
being right and just is being tested. But all that matters is, you
have to admit making an error when you commit one, learn from it and put
forward your own solutions.
For me being honest starts within yourself and that I should
know first what things are good. I should
have adequate knowledge and resistance to temptation to prevent myself from
engaging in dishonest practices. Honesty
and justness also start with strong leadership.
It also requires elected officials to be accountable for their actions
and words. We need to remember, as
elected officials and government employees, that the taxpayer is our boss and
serve them by being good steward of their money. An honest and just person possess
God-centered values and attitudes, understands co-workers and fellow men and
shows genuineness of concerns for country and people. An honest and honorable life has many
characteristics. Here are some of them; It
is a life full of faithfulness and obedience to God’s laws. It means turning away from sin – serious wrongdoings
such as stealing from the government you are working in. It also means giving up bad habits like using
foul language, gossiping and bribery. It
is striving to be good and holy, a life of honesty and integrity. It also means not cheating and taking
advantage of others, a life free from greed and free from seeking your own
interest at the expense of others.
