Hospitality is that great virtue what a guest expects from its host. It enriched with sincerity expresses the humbleness of the host towards the guest. Sincerity by the word means is closeness, dearness, responsibility and sympathy conjointly. The words hospitality and sincerity are not same. There is distinct difference between these two. The meaning of the word Hospitality depends on Sincerity to express itself while Sincerity independently can express itself. Without sincerity hospitality does not get its shape. And the Sincerity is traced where some “sense of duty” is present. The “sense of duty” drives one to be sincere towards his work, performance, behavior etc.”Sense of Duty” compels one to be sincere towards his performance. The feeling of “Sense of duty” is regarded as one of the greatest and important virtue human being should have. And it is one of the basic virtues human being has been nursing into his mind from the early stage of civilization. Though it has also been found that in every step of civilization a special feeling called Urge had been in active role. If the word Sincerity is analyzed we would be astonished to find that the “Urge” playing its role spontaneously. This is the urge from our heart that compels us to be sincere to all we do. The word Urge represents itself like boundness. But it has two sides. One that drives us to do something while the other comes from our heart, that does not drive but compels us. Whatever the meaning is, the Urge is found in sincerity and the sincerity is traced in hospitality. Thus the word hospitality is grateful to sincerity as it has got the way to define itself.
