Sense of integrity
In an excellent restaurant, after eating an expensive and decent meal, you realize that, in your check, you were not charged for one of the expensive things you already ate. Would you care to inform the waiter or waitress? Why?

If I am wealthy enough to eat in and excellent expensive restaurant, then why would I not pay for the forgotten meal?

That’s a good point. However, you might rationalize that the meal wasn’t really worth that handsome amount of money. Actually, I’ve seen many rich people who are so stingy, as well.

I actually care and go tell them.
Because if don’t pay for that food and go on I well get a really bad feelings that I don’t pay for that food- October 20, 2022 at 5:03 pm #109913Dr. Mohammad Hossein Hariri AslKeymaster
Yeah, I have the same response to this question, too. In fact, I don’t like to grow a troubled conscience.

I inform them. If I do not not do that I always be ashamed of myself thinking that I behaved like a dishonest person. I think morality is one of the main pillars of a society and it affects other people and spread like a nice fragrance everywhere or contaminate other people like a serious contagious illness.

You’re absolutely right about the impact of morality on society. A clear conscience will lead to an abundance of self-esteem. When we do something wrong, subconsciously, we know that there might be dire consequence.
