A man teaches morality, but forgets soi himself. "

"People teach morality but forget soi themselves" - Thai social reflection on the moral era is for speaking but not for doing.

by: aekdon

In today's Thai society, the term "morality, ethics and anti-corruption" has become a fancy phrase that appears in almost every pamphlet, poster, or government inauguration ceremony. Officials confidently say, "We have to be honest, transparent and verifiable," but looking behind the scenes, many in the arena are those who "know better than cheat guides."

🎭 people who teach Dharma but do the opposite of Dharma.

A small number of civil servants are currently tasked with "promoting morality" in the organization.

Instead, it's people who take advantage of positions, abuse power, or secretly "eat a little" until they become normal in the system.

Some were "anti-corruption project leaders" but disbursed false meeting fees.

Some people organize "grow consciousness" training, but use government cars to run private errands.

Some people are up to say "transparent," but grandchildren have packed the job without competition.

This is the "moral paradox" that Thai society is quietly accepting.

🧩 Why is this?

Foster system - cheaters are not afraid of guilt because they have lines and backs.

No real punishment - even if caught, often "probate" or "move elsewhere."

Thai culture is considerate - do not want to mess, do not want to interrupt adults

habituation - from a little cheat to a corporate culture.

🧠 Morals are not decorations.

The sad thing is that many agencies use "virtue" as a visual tool.

Like a campaign sign hanging in front of a conference room, but nobody reads it.

While citizens endure a system full of generosity, partisanship and disparity in power.

⚖️ If the doorman is the key thief,

What is the benefit of anti-Corruption if the person holding the flag is behind it?

Society will never improve if people who teach others to be honest are not honest with themselves.

🔥 It's time to look in the mirror.

Don't wait for the monitoring system to come to work - because it was built by the people in the system.

The public must dare to question, dare to unmask, and dare not accept "the evil of wearing a suit."

Because cheating is not just a matter of money.

But it is the cheating of the people's faith - which no number compensates for.

"Don't talk about virtue if you don't dare to be honest with your shadow."

- Lessons that Thais should remember before virtue becomes a beautiful word in the meeting report.
