You
can't make wrong work. Everything you add to the truth, you inevitably subtract
from it. It's discouraging to think that people nowadays are more shocked by
honesty than by deceit.
We
punish ourselves with every lie and reward ourselves with every right action. A
lie will add to your troubles, subtract from your energy, multiply your
difficulties and divide your effectiveness.
"Truth
is always strong, no matter how weak it looks, and falsehood is weak no matter
how strong it looks "(Marcus Antonius). Never view anything positively
that makes you break your word.
The
book of Proverbs says it best: "Dishonest
gain will never last, so why take the risk?" Truth exists. Only lies
are created. Truth shines in the darkness.
As
scarce as the truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.
Wrong is wrong no matter who does it or says it. Truth does not cease to exist
because it is ignored, and it doesn't change depending on whether it is believed
by a majority of people. The truth is always the strongest argument.
Consider
the words of John Wesley:
Do
all the good you can, In all the ways you can,
In
all the places you can, At all the times you can,
To
all the people you can, As long as you ever can.
"If
you continue to do what's right, what's wrong and who's wrong will eventually
leave your life" (David Blunt).
