the good bad and ugly

yesterday something happened... that is still making me revisiti the age old question of what is right and what is wrong.
is there still something right ... some thats completly wrong?
I had a typical indian middle class upbringing. The consept of what is right - honesty , sincerety, hard work were embedded in it.
But then the world i live today does'nt needs any of them...
instead of honesty it require politically correct people.
instead of sincerety people want to have their work one - any which ways.
instaed of hard work people expect smart work.

may be this is what i have learned in my professional life but there is a life beyond that and may be hese principals still hold some value... may be relationships are based on these values only... may be by acting smart i am just making a fool of myself... may be...!!!!!!!
may be i need a better reason to live it out!
