What Happened To Honesty and Accountability?

Welcome reader,

Should you be unfamiliar with my writing. The sole reason would be because you have never been on one of my hubs before. If you would like, take a second to read my profile, so as to get your mind prepared. As to what is known, as to what you know or think or believe and as well as the rest of the people on the planet. This particular hub was brought to be because of an observation of a serious lack of understanding of life. It appears as if people are down-right, nothing but a bunch of liars, and it is becoming more acceptable on a daily basis.

Now, that my friend is a scary thought. Hence, Misconception - Honesty and Accountability. The main reason is to show you that honesty and accountability is possibly a problem you might have, but not realize it. Yeah, that might seem a little arrogant, considering I do not know you from the next person who reads the hub, but that is okay, I can live with that. However, you and myself, are only two individuals, who have individual thought patterns and can determine when we are not being honest, and precisely whether or not, accountability has been accepted.

To be completely truthful, honesty and accountability go hand in hand. If you are honest, and I mean, truly honest, then you will take steps for accountability and determine your own punishment.

Example: If you were to be on a diet, and you were not honest about staying on it, for the duration, you desired, then you are to strip yourself of some other luxury, for your failed attempt at being honest with yourself.

You must be completely honest with yourself, which means you must apply some sort of hardship for accountability. If you do not, then you are not being honest with yourself, which means, you are not being honest or choosing when to be honest with others. These actions are immoral, because you hurt those around, when you do deal with others

The key to knowing and understanding your life, is to simply know that the highest moral ground, comes from within yourself, but through your actions. To my understanding, "Integrity" is a requirement, as is the understanding of what it really means.

Some people like to think it is okay to consciously lie to others. The reason does not matter- it is the action that is judged, as to whether or not, it is moral or immoral. Some of the religious folk deem thoughts(as an action) can be immoral, which is foolish beyond any comprehension.

Thoughts or ideas, do not become reality, until actions is implemented to make real. Thus, if one lusts after a person, and then becomes physical with that person(consent or not)- then you can judge the action/final result(consensual or not).

It does not happen, until someone puts actions behind the effort to make the thoughts real. You should be in control of your thoughts, not all thoughts, but the vast majority with decisions behind them and actions. Your individual potential is no different than anyone else. Your capacity to learn, regardless at what pace, is the same as mine.

The simplest way to explain is said.

The life you live is yours to do with as you so choose and you answer to no other. This simply means you are to maintain only a few rules for your life and those are as followed:

1. You are to be self-responsible. This is in reference to your thoughts and actions.
2. You are to be honest with yourself and others. This means that you are not deceitful, dishonesty with both yourself or others. You can not escape your life or your own conscience. Do not think you can.
3. You are always to preserve Life, yours and others. You are to value ALL Life above all else.

This is the true meaning of life. There is no other agenda for your life other how I have explained.

Accountability is how a person keeps honest. Should you do something wrong that hurts someone else, intentional or not, you are still accountable. Ignorance is not a scapegoat.

Each person must see first and then act. To intentionally harm others is vicious. To do it by accident, still does not wave off accountability for the end result. When you take action, that action will start off a chain of events that you could not possibly fathom nor could you see the end result coming.

The simple fact is that you are connected to every other human being on the planet. You take a trip to the store- regardless of how you get there(you are having an effect on someone. Not to mention, when you buy something from the store(you have an effect on someone else).

And, again, on your way home, you are again having an effect on someone else. How can that be? Easy, you are in public. Someone is looking at you? Someone has contact with you? If you do something, it is most likely seen by someone. That action is then given a moral value, in the eyes of the person looking at you.

At that point, someone is going to make a judgment of your action, regardless of what you might think. Everyone has their own perspective/perception, however, it doesn't mean they have their own truth.

There are millions of people walking around thinking that truth is what they say it is. That's absurd and so far from the truth of the matter it is funny. I had a good laugh the other day, when I asked my sister about "truth". She was so lost, she refused to answer my question. If you are interested- the question was "Is there truth in a lie?".

It showed me, that my own sister has no idea or any inclination of understanding her own life. She simply lives day to day, worrying about herself and her kids, without ever expanding her own view or knowledge. She showed me, how limited, she truly is, in ability and thought.

It is sad. I've tried to help her, but every time I do, she pushes me away and wants nothing to do with it, because she gets a headache thinking about it. Anything outside her little enclosed boxed life, is simply too complicated for her to handle. It demonstrates how one stops learning.

So, in the end, it is you who controls your life and it's direction. It is you who controls your actions, as to what happens in your life. It is you who has to keep yourself honest. It is you who has to hold yourself accountable for what your actions do.

Thank you for your time.
