Live with Integrity - A Life Free of Shame

Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.

This saying encourages living a life of integrity, honesty, and kindness—one where your actions, words, and intentions are consistent with your values. If you were to sell your parrot (a metaphor for someone who might repeat your private conversations) to a notorious gossip, you wouldn’t need to worry about what it might reveal because your life is free from hypocrisy or wrongdoing.

The saying emphasizes that we should behave in a way that aligns with our principles, whether or not anyone is watching. It’s about authenticity and ensuring that our words and actions are honorable and fair, even behind closed doors.

Examples

Workplace Integrity: A manager who treats their team fairly, avoids gossip, and supports colleagues wouldn’t fear being overheard or exposed for any unfair treatment.

Friendship: A true friend refrains from speaking ill about someone in their absence. Even if those words were repeated, they’d feel no shame because they acted with loyalty.

Social Media: Living authentically means posting or sharing content online that reflects who you are without hiding or faking for appearances.

Small Story "The Parrot’s Reflection”

Once, in a small village, there lived a kind man named Arjun. Arjun was known for his honesty and compassion. He would often help neighbors, resolve disputes peacefully, and speak kindly about everyone. He owned a parrot named Mitthu, who had a habit of repeating whatever Arjun said.

One day, Arjun decided to sell Mitthu to a neighbor named Ravi. Ravi was known to gossip and eagerly agreed, hoping to hear juicy secrets from the parrot.

Excited, Ravi brought Mitthu home and asked, “What did Arjun talk about all day?”

Mitthu chirped, “Be kind. Help others. Speak the truth. Be grateful!”

Disappointed, Ravi asked again, but Mitthu only repeated Arjun’s wise and kind words.

Ravi returned the parrot, embarrassed. “Arjun, your parrot only repeats good things. Don’t you have anything interesting to say?”

Arjun smiled and replied, “That’s how I live my life, Ravi. What Mitthu says is a reflection of my actions.”

From that day, Ravi began reflecting on his own words and actions, inspired to live a life free from shame or gossip.

Moral

Live in such a way that anyone observing your actions sees only honesty, kindness, and goodness. Let your words and deeds inspire others to lead lives of integrity and respect.
