How do you function in a dishonest Society?

[jossiel]

Then be the better person and don't let yourself drag and be affected of what's surrounding you. It can be a reason why there are people that's ending up growing with that attitude but it doesn't mean that you can't break that method.

The reality is there and many will go against and laugh at you being the good guy but don't be discouraged and don't stop being a good person just because of that excuse. It will be hard but at least you're doing it because you know that it's correct.

It really matters if you are also a part of that dishonest society? You have to be good for yourself first then you might realize the struggles of others which could help you to be honest with everyone but never try to be a selfish which is the only reason of all these things in this world.

In a dishonest society – one should keep away from evil acts, see thing with complete clarity. None of the book teaches to stand by cruel and unjust. However justice prevails sooner or later.

Time will inevitably uncover dishonesty and lies; history has no place for them.

How do you function in a dishonest society?

That is a good question, personally I'm just trying to survive from day to day.  Others around me seem more adapted to it.

I think in addition to adapting to the surroundings If we have to change the view of everyone in society and remove superstition from society then society will be improved by working in a dishonest society.

I think that we can look at this problem from a bit different point of view. Why are you saying that we live in a dishonest society in the first place? All things are just as they suppose to be. The world is as it is because it's meant to be this way. It was "designed" to be "dishonest, cruel, full of drama"... If it were otherwise it would have been the opposite. From such perspective dishonesty of society disappears and a clear view on this topic arises. All we can do is just to try not to get involved emotionally too much in all the troubles which surround us. Let's stay a bit at a distance from everything that is going on around us: both good and bad. Such a remote observation will allow us to take everything in a more easy way. 

I like your stoic approach.

How do you function in a dishonest society?

The simple way to function is because you have to live. People all over the world are selfish and one thing they have in common is to go after their own immediate and personal needs even before common goal and in most case, a lot of people are ready to to anything to ensure that their own bottom line is protected starting with being dishonest. For someone with a moral code and some lines not to cross, the best line is to ensure that you deal with people in the best possible way and satisfy your conscience the moment you do that, I think everything should be fine.

You can let it eat at you and control you, or you can push forward with quality. Our normal tendencies again and again keep us from doing the last mentioned. Yet, perceiving that trustworthiness of character has numerous aspects, and that there are frequently different realities in any circumstance, here are the manners in which you can function in dishonest society -
Understand the impact it has on you
Confront the behaviour
Take action to address the impact
Move forward

First have your credibility intact and find people who you can trust with all your heart. Keep yourself over everyone and be selfish. Face each situation with no bias and solve it with all information in hand.  Dont trust any source and check multiple sources before making any decision and taking further actions. Learn , adapt and act when ever required. Know how a situation going to effect you and calibrate accordingly.

First of all try to have network of close people who you can trust and not lose intra credibility. Know every situation , its impact on you and how you plan to face it. Dont give it all , stay personal and humble , dont be a social monkey else you might face unexpected situation or feel cheated. Stay low and humble would be the key. Know your network well enough so that you can trust them.

[Bagaji]

You can't really change the society untill you work constantly on changing yourself and then those who's around you

I agree with you that changing the situation around is not possible in society Because working in a dishonest society is so difficult because everyone has different opinions and attitudes I think everyone needs to change their outlook before working in society.

Everyone of us started learning from our various home/family and whatever character you are carrying today either good or bad has a link to your family. A good society will only exist when we have a good family and a good up-bring in from our various families.

Be extra cautious and trust none is the solution to live life in a dishonest society. You can maybe have a very closed group of trustworthy people amonh whom you can instill your credibility and build positive relation. Stay humble and access every situation that comes your way .
