While others just talk about Mahatma Gandhi's principles, I practise some of them. Some people criticise Gandhi's principles, some praise them, but nobody accepts them. People say they are just not practical.
I don't know what to do with myself, because I find it impossible to defy my own logics. Doing things smartly is nowhere in my book. Idealism is really painful. Am I stubborn?
These questions are arising because my honesty is troubling me. I can't say that I am the most honest person on the earth, but still I am more honest than others. I practice that consciously.
I always tried to be different from others and do exceptional but good things. When I observed that everyone is cheating every other person and even oneself, then I thought honesty is a good idea to stand out of the crowd.
Apart from all this when somebody starts enjoying honesty it becomes impossible to get rid of it. I believe good habits are as difficult as bad habits, when it comes to changing them. And why change a good habit when you are enjoying that?
It is not that honesty brings trouble but it is difficult to initially start with it. Once you are on with it you realize the benefits. In fact, it makes things easier.
That's where people misunderstand honesty. People say you are speaking truth because you are afraid of taking risks. You don't want to take pains. Why the hell should I bear pains of lies when I am enjoying the bliss of truth?
