Wink Is honesty the best policy?

Hey forum, check this out I ordered a part from a after market dealer. They were so helpful, and answered all my questions and concerns. Now one of the parts I ordered was 10.00 bucks, but they sent me the full assembly cost 150.00 bucks. Now it's just don't feel right, but for some reason if it was a motor company dealer it wouldn't bother me at all.

I'm a small business owner, as well as a full time employee; so I know what's like to loss inventory. I may just call them and let them know, and hope he just say keep it(lol)

Check it out.....god gave all us men a conscious....we know in our heart when we do something wrong and when we do something right. When we do the right thing we feel good about it....it does give us a good feeling. The opposite is true when we do something bad...or at least I catch a bit of a guilt trip when I screw someone over that dont need screwing. This is one of the things that separates us from the animals. (I aint saying nothing bad about animals here either) When I say animals I am talking about the human type as well.....because if you take a look in any state pen you will see its full to the brim with animals (I aint talking about the guy who ripped off the stock market or any **** like that), the kind that rape and kill 85 year old ladies, or the kind that have to hurt someone physically to make a buck......these are animals and should be dealt with as such. Yikes.....let me get back on track here.......JUST DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT. You are the one that has to live with yourself.

You can't just "do what you feel is right", because your spiritual enemy will trick you into believing that something that is wrong is now OK because "everyone else does it". It would be dishonest to keep something that you did not pay for. So you're making the call, right? Of course! That's why you asked! Good job!

Pure honesty and you'll feel good at the very end. Knowing you had made a difference in your life as well as for others cuz they'll remember you.

Ride safe,
