Truthfulness,modesty and simplicity are searching their existence in the world ruled by the vices like cunning, pretensions, flattery and hypocrisy. Ethics and values have reached on the verge of extinction. Without values,life is a little more than a crude struggle for survival.

Pretensions and flattery have become rampant, which not only affects the morale but also contributes to moral decay.

The world literally appears to be a battlefield for those who are ingrained with values of honesty, simplicity and humbleness. These so called value abiding people are unable to survive or rather gets entangled in the vicious circle of politics. They are caught up in a dilemma as to whether stick to their values or keep their virtues at stake and follow the race of cunning.

Long held values have suffered a noticeable decline that exhibits a corresponding negative behavior.

More attention is lavished on the people who are pretentious and flatterers than those who stand by truth and bring forth the stark realities.

Lack of moral compass along with an increasing emphasis on materialistic goals and selfish individualism have given way to the culture of jealousy and indifference to the feeling of others.
