Honesty still prevails
Tuesday, 23 August 2022
Day by day, the number of dishonest people is growing in this country. It is a perception that is getting stronger among thepeople. And the perception is not baseless. Every day we witness dishonest activities around us. Our sufferings grow due to these unethical activities. Unfortunately, wicked people bother little about the sufferings of others. They are doing what they want to do.
Nevertheless, a piece of news has shaken everyone. It kindles a glimmer of hope. A rickshaw-puller named Aminul in Dhaka found a missing iPhone and has returned it to its owner. The owner is a Bangladeshi-born US citizen who lost the phone. The rickshaw-puller found the cell phone (iPhone 13 pro max), which was shut. He returned it to its owner through the police.
The incident showed that honesty still prevails in this country. It also confirms that there are thousands of Aminul living in this society. They are living with honesty and hard work. They are not greedy. But their stories do not come to the public. The story of Aminul should be widely publicised. Students should read the story and find a real-life example of honesty.
