Behavior in public and in private.
All men like to pose as saints and straight before the public.
In every one’s life there is a dark street of which he himself is aware.
It is said that true test of man’s behavior and character is not in how
he behaves and conducts himself in public; but how he conducts
himself in private. It is easy to mask and conduct guardedly with
a multitude watching you. The test comes when you are alone,
unaware how you behave.
In the privacy of the homes, office, and minds are we more lax
in our behavior? Do we compromise our values?
Are we humble genuinely when the spotlight is off?
Another popular saying states that the measure of a man’s character
is that what he would do if he knew that he would never be found out.
The word integrity means unimpaired or wholeness. With this in mind
we have to examine ourselves what impairs us from being wholesome
and pure and what keeps from experiencing the true attitude.
Everyman wears a two face attitude. It is not necessary. This façade
is a redundant exercise we perform. It is a burden we carry.
Why can’t we genuinely be frank loving and polite to all
irrespective whether the light is on or off?
