Integrity and Honesty

Recently i've been thinking about the world and how much honesty there really is. As students we've been taught since the beginning of our school days that cheating is bad...that copying is taboo. yet by the time we get to middle schoo it seems as if that rule has faded into the crevices of our minds. It seems as if we no longer fear the repercusssions of cheating since we as students constantly try to find ways to cheat. i never understood this mindset....as kids we were raised to have morals, to know what is right and wrong...yet we lose sight of this as we grow. i mean we all know it's wrong to kill, it's wrong to steal, it's wrong to hurt other people...yet somehow cheating no longer applies.

and i have to wonder if this is bc when we look at the world, teenagers as a generation no longer see a role model of honesty and integrity in society anymore....i mean open up a newspaper and all i read is crap about ppl cheating each other out of money or corruption and so many other lies....everyone in this world is so busy lying to each other that it seems like that's all there is to this world...backstabbing, lies, corruption, cheating....i don't get it. was life always like this or was i just too blind, stupid, and naive to see the facts in front of me? was i that stupid

bc i thought this world was fair...i know life isn't but i thought the forces of this world - fate, love, a higher being if you will - was. I believe in karma and justice but it seems as if there isn't any. i'm so disillusioned with this world...or is it i believe in a goodness and perfection that isn't there?

  1. youre not blind, stupid, naive, or any of that

    we're all simply growing up, and there's still so much to see

    i guess...
    there are problems in the world, but they aren't gonna be resolved unless one person does an action.

    keep believing, that's where the hope is :]

    to be honest, i guess i'm one of those people that cheat sometimes
    i try not to do it, but we all have goals, and we all have expectations to pass
    sometimes its harmless, sometimes its not.

    idk, i guess that's no excuse
    but yeahhh..

    QUYNH.
