We rationalize our deceptive behaviour. We empower ourselves by giving logic to our dishonest actions. Get out of this comfort zone of rationalization, and look at your actions objectively. Even better, start looking at your actions through others' lenses. I think the reason we never want to admit dishonesty is that its opens up doors to vulnerability and judgement. The thing is, you have to see start seeing that vulnerability and judgement are the catalysts for self-growth. 

I'm deeply ashamed of people in my life that is so disgusted by the impoverished. I don't sense any ounce of respect for others from them. Respect should be blind, much like justice. Social standing is the root of all evil. I don't pity people who don't pity themselves. If they are happy, why is it my place to say they should be miserable? From the small glimpse I've had of a developing country, I realize that in certain cases living here makes me feel happiest. The most genuine, The most loving.
