Certain character traits like honesty and integrity have very little focus in the current society in which I live.

True. I am reading this book at the moment, “The Millionaire Mind”. When hundreds of people, who had built their wealth in their lifetime through their own efforts and had become millionaires, were asked to list and rank factors that contributed to their success in life, the number one factor listed was “being honest with all the people”. Something to think about, isn’t it?
