The truth is we don’t have many people who are faithful in society today. Everyone is scrambling to find the quickest way to benefit themselves and not the ones relying on them. It wreaks of desperation and quite frankly, is an insult to what it means to be genuine.  There are so many aspects to life and business, and it’s not hard to blur lines.  Having a solid moral code is important.  You can’t have 2 moral codes and be a genuine human being.  At some point, you’ll end up compromising one or the other and this affects both your personal aand ultimately your professional life.
