A simple and yet purely enlightened point tomac, and one far too often over-looked.
You have displayed a rare and incisive (and insightful psychological) perspective, not often seen on HC threads.
"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom" (Thomas Jefferson).
"No legacy is so rich as honesty" (William Shakespeare).
"It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty, and how few by deceit" (Noel Coward)
"Honesty, for the most part, is less profitable than dishonesty" (Plato).
Plato points out the problems with the current financial system, and those problems are caused because, dishonesty is rewarded more. This clearly illustrates that the current system, run by banks and financial robber barons, is totally broken. We, the people, are treated as mushrooms, while our wealth is pilfered repeatedly, and greedily, by financial psychopaths and by government and regulatory systems that work to protect white collar criminals and others of dubious character. However, fortunately, it is possible for all sides to be honest, or at least, the potential exists for that to happen.
Whenever in doubt - always choose honesty first.
