Simplified Meaning:
True honesty means making good choices even when no one will see or give you credit. For example, imagine you find a wallet full of money on the street. Returning it to the owner, even though no one watched you pick it up, shows integrity. It’s about listening to your inner voice telling you what’s right, rather than doing good deeds only for praise or acknowledgment. By practicing this kind of honesty, you build trust within yourself and maintain a sense of personal honor. This can improve your relationships and how you feel about yourself, as you know you’re consistently acting with good morals, regardless of external validation. So, always try to do what's right, even when you think no one is watching.
