We can define honesty as the act of telling the truth or doing right things instead of bad things. These days people are not that honest.

Also, parents are not educating well their kids because they prepare them to lie all their life, the might not see it that way, but they are doing it. Something that I can add is that we should try to be as honest as possible because what you give is what you get back. To finish I am going to post a Thomas Jefferson quote: Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. ...Remember: .
