Honest people are not idiots and can still gain a foothold in society. But it is difficult to encounter a good environment. That depends on luck.

Since you are an honest person, you must establish yourself in an honest way. That's how I am, I can't make a fortune or make mistakes. If you have a good attitude, you will be happy.

I think honest people must remain neutral.

Mao Zedong once said, "Wherever there are people, there will be left, center and right." Chinese people advocate struggle and enjoy endless joy in fighting against heaven, earth and people. But because you are an honest person you can't handle the gang war, so the result will be that you are at the bottom, unless you are lucky.

I think honest people must have a skill.

Because you are an honest person and will not accept favors. Your food rations must be earned by skills. It is said that there will be no hungry craftsmen in the wild.

I think honest people must be able to endure hardship and be willing to endure hardship

What else does this society lack besides money? They are people who can endure hardship, because most people like to enjoy themselves. So hardship is valuable.

In short, honest people suffer losses, but live a solid life. It is best to stay honest and learn to be shrewd and cunning.
