Man must value and practice honesty in his life. It helps us to relate to our family, to our friends, to co-workers, to society in general.
Knowing how to recognize mistakes and try to fix them helps increase honesty.
Lack of honesty brings negative consequences such as mistrust, deception and lies.
Other qualities that help to be a better person are simplicity and humility.
We have to have the ability to adapt to the different situations that we have to go through. Knowing how to converse, putting ourselves both at the height of a child and an adult; from a person without education as from one with advanced studies; knowing how to reach the heart of those who need it at the right time.
Knowing how to respect the opinion of others, and express opinions with humility, without believing that only ours are correct.
We must accept the diversity of criteria, as it helps to expand our capacity for tolerance.
Another quality that helps to live is joy; must always accompany us, sure, it will make everything we undertake easier.
Many times a feeling of indignation invades us, but it is up to us to know how to differentiate if what caused that feeling was an error in the perception of the fact, or if we really witnessed an incorrect or unacceptable action.
What we have experienced cannot be changed, since it is the result of our experiences, our learning and the circumstances that surrounded our lives, but we must fight for some changes if we want to commit to the future.
We must demand greater justice and transparency in the acts that affect our destinies.
The noblest quality is kindness, giving. It is the best way to feed our hearts, translated into both material and spiritual help.
Every day we have the opportunity to be in solidarity with others. The man who does not have a job, the mother who cannot feed her child, the sick person who does not have the means to heal, the young man who suffers from a sentimental problem, all of them wait for an answer, advice, help.
Honesty, simplicity, humility, respect, joy, tolerance, kindness, are qualities that portray a happy man.
