I think that we can look at this problem from a bit different point of view. Why are you saying that we live in a dishonest society in the first place? All things are just as they suppose to be. The world is as it is because it's meant to be this way. It was "designed" to be "dishonest, cruel, full of drama"... If it were otherwise it would have been the opposite. From such perspective dishonesty of society disappears and a clear view on this topic arises. All we can do is just to try not to get involved emotionally too much in all the troubles which surround us. Let's stay a bit at a distance from everything that is going on around us: both good and bad. Such a remote observation will allow us to take everything in a more easy way.
