I always try to be honest even if being dishonest favours me.
Once, I bought some stuff from a shop , a big mega mall type shop that would be making around 70000-80000 rupees on a daily basis ,now in india this is an enormous amount.I belong to middle class family .
At the payment counter I paid 500 for the bill of 300 , now while returning the balance the shopkeeper by mistake returned me 300 instead of 200 .Now let me tell you it's a story from a few years ago when I needed money , I absent mindedly took the change and came .
While putting things in my vehicle I realised I got a 100 rupees extra.
I sat there thinking should I or shouldn't I return the money because I already came out and no one caught me either.
Thinking after a few minutes I realised I am being dishonest and greedy , and finally went inside the shop again and returned the mony,the shopkeeper was in shock and happy both.
I felt great fro being me , it was a really good feeling.
