Honesty is the most expensive quality

A major component for developing moral character is honesty. There are famous quotes, said by a great personality like “Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom”. It holds good due to its ability to build, shape and motivate integral values in one’s life. Honesty helps in developing good attributes like kindness, discipline, truthfulness, moral integrity and more. Lying, cheating, lack of trust, steal, greed and other immoral attributes have no part in Honesty.

Although I am a 9th grade student, the word "corruption" came across to me only a few times, and I did not ask myself what does it mean? I understood that I would soon go to study at a higher educational institution, and there, probably, I would certainly get to know this word. When my teacher invited me to take part in a competition and write an essay on the topic "A person's choice - a world without corruption," when I came across this word again, I realized that this concept is unkind and alarming. And this, indeed, turned out to be so. I turned to dictionaries and learned that the word "corruption" is the moral corruption of officials and politicians, expressed in illegal enrichment, bribery, embezzlement and merging with mafia structures. A sad beginning. Every person wants to live in a world in which there is no evil, envy, bribery and self-interest, in a world that is filled with love, goodness, happiness and mercy. So why is there bribery in our world throughout its history, and is it possible to eradicate it? Corruption today is one of the most pressing issues, it is one of the most serious problems of our society. It becomes part of a person's daily life, but requires an immediate solution.

I live in a village, where corruption, in my opinion, is not as “thriving” as in a big city. Our parents work on the "land", we go to a regular school, where rural children are kinder, more sympathetic and merciful, because they have a different upbringing. However, I am afraid when I go to study in the city and come across this unpleasant concept of "corruption".

In our world, there are still people who have conscience and honor in the first place, but they are very rare to meet. For the most part, our world is all built on bribery: for any services, officials are presented with gifts, for a certain amount of money they get a job. So is it possible to get rid of corruption? I am sure that it is possible, but it takes a lot of effort, and not only for the state, but also for each person individually. To date, many laws have been adopted, but nothing has changed. So what do you do? Maybe toughen the penalties so that no one even thinks about a bribe. You can also resort to a quick change of officials. Yes, all this is possible if moral and ethical values ​​are brought up in every family from early childhood. Adults need to be an example for the whole younger generation.And we must learn to be honesty. Honest people are sincere, trustworthy and loyal, throughout their life. Honesty is valuable and it is the habit of utmost importance.

Thus, corruption is a negative phenomenon. It undermines the foundations of society, creates threats to development, contributes to a drop in confidence in government agencies, destroys the economy and the morality of society. To prevent this from happening, everyone needs to fight this problem! Start with yourself, choose what is most important for you: a clear conscience, the joy of achievements in life on your own. It depends on you and me - in which state we will live: honest or corrupt.
