Honesty, integrity and a good dose of bullshit!

Its laughable how hypocritical we can be, aspire and confess to all the virtues ‘good’ men of old used to measure themselves against, and yet, in this day and age with all its materialism and superficiality, its fake smiles and meaningless laughs, I would say it’s almost impossible to stay true to those virtues, Love, Integrity & Honour… almost that is, but all the bullshit aside, I think we ‘use’ the ‘bullshit’ as a convenient excuse, a means to giving in to the ‘darkside’. The trick is to realise and accept that we need to fight harder than the knights of old to stay true to those age-old virtues that can, if adhered to, or should I say if honestly committed to can make society and us as constituents better! Obviously we also need to realise that we are mere humans, not infallible, but if we can attempt in good conscience to stay ‘on course’ then our faltering can be forgiven at least, understood at most. After-all, when you stand in front of the mirror looking at yourself remember this, integrity is the only virtue you can give yourself, who’s looking back at you?

Even though we consciously decide to ‘take a stand’ against injustice, dishonestly etc. it seems that the universe rebels, as if the substance of stuff retaliates. ‘Substance of stuff’ indeed, basically the way that temptation to do wrong is so much more enticing, why is the ‘doing good’ option so untempting, so ‘not sexy’? It’s as if the world wants us to function in the grey and it takes solace from the fact that we won’t do anything out of kilter but just function and ‘go with the flow’ even if the flow is wrong, it’s so much easier to follow it… Maybe it has to do with that age-old notion that for evil to succeed good men just need to do nothing, the problem is that sometimes the ‘doing’ that they do is not good enough, too grey, not explicitly right, and ...
