Sqrl, ArtOfAngels, and Vamp: You guys have a lot to learn in life.

Honesty is more valuable than anything you can get in exchange for it. It's what built society and allows it to operate. Without it, there is chaos. Government, schools, business, personal relations, medical care...do you want people to be honest to you in these things? You have to live the principle yourself if you want or expect others to live it.

Vamp: If you believe in Karma, you'd be more honest, knowing it would pay bigger dividends in the end.

You think the Government, schools, business, personal relations, medical care (especially medical care - they over charge out more than anybody else) is being honest with your tax money, with their prices, with their messages, etc.?

If you do, you have a lot to learn in life.  It's one thing to try and be good (which I commend you for), but it's another thing to pretend everything is all rosy and be naive.

For the comment about the clerk getting screwed, maybe he shouldn't be handling money in the first place if he can't do it right and this is karma's way of getting him out of that job (which sucks anyway).

no, I don't think they are. I believe the only way govt, med, etc can be honest is if each of us do our part to be honest. So, like sqrl, you think the clerk deserved what he got when he had to account for the missing $80. And you'd be ok with it if it happened to you.
