Importance of Being Earnest.

I wish I had had the capacity to linger upon a single thought for longer than i usually do. My thoughts continually hop on from this to that, but I have been feeling particularly contemplative today. What I have been thinking about is honesty- And how profound a virtue it is. A professor of mine had once in his introductory speech mentioned "Theres' something almost metaphysically miraculous about honesty and how it always pays off..more or less like the boomerang principle."

This thought had a significant impact on me and since then i have oft pondered - more often than not in my life I have personally suffered because I had been dishonest, more than to anyone else I had been dishonest to my own self the most, thereby harming myself exceedingly.

And now as I meditate upon it, I have found ever so deep and wide implications of the term and how pivotal a role it plays in our lives and how sometimes in such diverse n different ways it presents itself to us.

One basic similarity also I figured among all such virtues - how they are always present as an other alternative to us and no matter for how long we take to finally opt for them, we never can permanently abort the righteous alternatives.
