Your comments are refreshing. As I get older and get into more business and dealing with others due to children, etc, I come across what I think are quite a lot dishonest people.
A lot of my money has gone into paying for services here and there which are simply not carried out honestly, where I find myself short-changed and that is frustrating. Not to mention the ones who outright steal direct from others. It is almost continuous these days. I had to create a box where I put all the details, letters, etc of the people who shaft me to try to contain the issue and the box is getting fuller.
Not a very good place being an honest person in this world because you will be had, that you want it or not. Dishonest people are very very rarely had. This could be an additional reason as to they are dishonest: jungle’s law, the first one who gets the other’s money or things or trust wins.

Everyone short of a mental handicap is born with a moral center. The choice to use it is up to each individual. An in these times, though I am an optimist, I must agree that this choice is rarely ever made when the states include getting / not getting what one wants. I witness masses of people do only that which suits them on an hourly basis regadless of the negetive effect on themselves and others around them. I constantly look for the good in life but find it within people much less often than the greed, egoism, and indiference. Hopefully we’ll be witness to a culmination of or cultutral revolution dealing with the popularity of dishonesty and blatant self interest.

I disagree with the statement that most people have no moral center. I think most, if not all people have a strong moral center, but they are too scared to use it. This could be because of peer pressure, fear of getting caught doing something they shouldn’t be doing, or any number of other reasons. I’m sure there are some people who do, in fact, have the type of mind set you described, but it is crazy to think that most people are wired that way.

Most people have no moral center. In such people’s minds, the only good is what benefits them, the only bad is what gets in between them and what they want. How their actions affect others or society in general doesn’t figure into it, it’s all just ego and id. They would kill people to get what they want if they thought they could get away with it, and sometimes they do take that risk. They never show remorse until they get caught, because remorse is the thing, again, that might get them what they want i.e. their freedoms back. Then there’s other people who have morality but no critical thinking ability, and confuse “legal” with “moral” and “illegal” with “immoral” as if the two concepts had anything to do with one another. The sad thing is that the few decent human beings in this world who try to live by the golden rule eventually find themselves having to be just as selfish as the bad people, because if they practice goodwill and selflessness the self-centered masses will take everything from them and give nothing back but disrespect. being a good and you’ll get treated like a chump. be a selfish, ruthless piece of crap and you’ll have lots of adoring fans.
