Every day, we witness the myriad cases of fraud reported by the media.
There are those who deceive for money, titles, and even victories in sporting events such as triathlons.
This doesn't even include the false promises spread by politicians during election campaigns.
Despite the repeated acts of deception, many still cling to the words of the deceitful.
What has become of the virtue of honesty in this technologically advanced era?
Do these deceivers not fear the inevitable reckoning in the Hereafter for their lies in this world?
It is profoundly disheartening to ponder the state of humanity in these latter days.
They show no fear of the severe retribution in the Hereafter, much less the laws created by humans.
Many deceivers are even exalted to positions of power, perpetuating lies to maintain their hold on authority.
As Billy Joel poignantly sings in "Honesty," honesty is such a lonely word.
The honest are increasingly overlooked and oppressed in a world awash with falsehood.
