Before straightly jumping into the topic I would like to reveal an interesting fact about my own name. My name, which is Sathya, is a word that has a lot to say about Truth. Literally, In india the word Sathya means the Truth. In the languages Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and many other Indian languages in which I have no direct contact with, The word Sathya and its various forms carries the similar meaning. Even the emblem of my county carries a sathya in it. Sathyameva jayathe, which means Truth alone triumphs is the National motto of India. I feel very proud to carry such a great word in my name!

Truth

Veraciusness is the word thet well describes the measure of one's truthfullness. If you take the case of mine, Not just in the name, but indeed in every given instance I personally try to be true to the big meaning that lurks behind it. But how far it is being fruitful is a debatable issue though! There were times in which I was mocked at by others for being true. Hiding actual things rather than revealing them would be more comfortable and easier for us in many situations. That's why It is widely being accepted that The face of Truth would always be ugly. But infact it is not!

Since I write this article on steemit, I can't turn a blind eye towards the things happening here around. Out of few thousand active users on steemit, How many produce contents on theiir own is a valid question one can surely ask I guess. Number of users who earn the negative rewards from @steemcleaners tells the story. Many of those steemians commit the same mistakes they used to do in other platforms in here. We can exclude them out of ignorance. But what about big players? They are trying to earn some easy money!

Is it fair?

Its not a good practice to plagiarise others work inorder to make money. the original author might have shed a lot of sweat and blood while creating the content. Ethically it is not correct. But unfotunately we can still witness a lot of such thieves on a daily, if not hourly basis. I wish they got some conciousness!

The truth factor is not just something restricted to the plagiarism. Its actual meaning is more than that when its application comes to a platform like steemit. A self conscious thinking is associated with it. Revisiting at ones own eligibility to be rewarded that big upvote before pushimg the content by using bidbots is such a trait. Be true to oneself is the exact sentence. In a platform like steemit one is free to use his/her brain in the way he/she wish to make loads of money as it is a blockchain and decentralized in natue. Again making this platform great is in the hands of users who are community-oriented! Those who act selfishly and greedily are the ones who act against the definition of real truth!

Importance of truth

Be it on steemit or in your real life, being a gentleman/woman will never let you down. truth has the power to uplift you in lthe long run. Fo achieving small and short term developments, there is no better option is available than rallying behind the lies.

I'm 200% sure that it is better to be a proponent of veraciousness rather than drown in the sea of lies!
