Honesty is the best policy

We live in a country which is embedded with corruption. We vote politics that pretend to be what they are not. Their sole purpose when entering politics is getting as much money as possible. But this corruption is not only in the political field. It exists everywhere. Even in families. I have a friend who has received money because her mother´s house has been sold. The problem comes when she found out that some relatives of her sold the house but with a different price than the one mentioned in the papers. Therefore, she got fewer money than she had to. I cannot describe how angry she was. She could not beleive that her own family has stolen money from her. I do not know if this is very common. I have not heard of it before. But it is beyond understanding.

I think that if one wants to get profits from a wrong doing he or she will not get it in the end because there is someone who is watching from above. Stealing or killing someone you know is the worst crime.

On the other hand, there is a big problem now in the Junta de Clasificacion Media because people who have only a certificate that says that he/she did a course in an institute is able to teach in public schools. Can this be true? Yes, of course. Only in Argentina this kind of things can happen. And students who are in the last course of the teacher trainning cannot have access to the system. This is not right at all. The national government should control this kind of mischief. Moreover, teachers do not have a job because they did not have the chance to register in the public system. This shows us that if people lie and go the wrong way they will get what they want. Nonetheless, I beleive that honesty is still the best policy after all.
There is always a light that shines through, and enlights the way.
