V. How to abide by honesty

If we teenagers want to abide by honesty, we must take responsibility and obligation for what we say, and we must keep our word and keep our promise. You must do what you promise others. Make an appointment with others, and be sure to be there on time. Be sure to arrive on time for school or various activities. You know, commitment is a very prudent act. You can't easily promise something that should not be done or impossible. Once you promise it, you should try your best to fulfill it. If we break our promise to others, we will belittle ourselves. If the situation changes in the process of fulfilling our promise, so that we can't fulfill our promise, we must truthfully explain the situation to each other and apologize. This is completely different from breaking promises, so it is necessary to start from scratch to establish honesty.

We should inherit and carry forward the traditional virtue of abiding by honesty, and we should also distinguish between "Jianghu loyalty" and abiding by honesty, recognize the essence and harm of "Jianghu loyalty", and be free from being polluted by this bad custom left over from the old society, so as to abide by honesty.

(1) Honesty is the fulcrum to support the morality of society

Honesty is one of the important contents of our traditional moral culture. "Honesty leads to the knot in the world", that is to say, honesty is the key to the code of conduct in the world. In the traditional Confucian ethics of our country, honesty is regarded as the condition of governing the country and leveling the world and an important moral norm that must be observed. Ancient sages and philosophers have many explanations on honesty. For example, Confucius said, "People have died since ancient times, and people have no faith." "People have no faith, and they don't know what they can do." "People stand with sincerity.": Mencius' theory of honesty: "Those who are sincere and don't move have nothing;" Dishonest, no one can move "; Xunzi believes that "cultivating the heart is not good at honesty"; Mozi said, "If you don't have a strong will, you won't be wise, and those who don't believe in it will fail." Laozi regards honesty as an important criterion of life behavior: "If you make a promise lightly, you will lose faith, and if it is easy, it will be difficult"; Zhuangzi also attaches great importance to honesty: "True people are sincere. Not refined and sincere, not moving. " Zhuangzi regards "authenticity" as the ultimate sincerity, and if it is not refined and sincere, it will not touch people, which will raise honesty to a new level; Han Feizi thinks that "cleverness is better than sincerity". In a word, ancient sages and philosophers praised honesty as a lofty virtue, which vividly showed the value and position of honesty in the eyes of China people. Since ancient times, people have attached so much importance to the principle of good faith. The reason is that honesty and credit are the basic moral norms to be followed in the relationship between people. Without good faith, there can be no morality. Therefore, honesty is the fulcrum to support the morality of society.
