hypocrisy

we as a people are not honest-in our dealings and with ourselves.we do not say what we mean and do not mean what we say.we are corrupt and never do an honest day's work.integrity of thought and deed has never meant anything to us.we cheat ,lie and are insincere.and after all that complain bitterly.about the state of affairs,about how bad things are,about how things should be done,ought to be done-blah blah blah on and on.we have this enormous ability not to see what is in front of our eyes,the most obvious things.
the lack of integrity and the corruption is destroying us.can we ever improve?do you see any hope?
i do not.i do believe that things will only go downhill.and i shudder what it will be like downhill.
