However I'm sure your change was shown by actions, not just words.<br /><br />The sad fact is that there are many who still cannot be trusted, be they politicians, lovers, employees, salespeople etc. We have to be careful who we trust.Hal Lillywhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532281493474571590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675444709777940325.post-84645835355694272742010-04-20T07:12:12.743-07:002010-04-20T07:12:12.743-07:00The seduction of the lie.
Lies are easy to commit...The seduction of the lie.<br /><br />Lies are easy to commit, and the promise of reward is great. And the slope is extremely slippery. Omission of fact is as culpable as commission of error. "To never knowingly do harm" is the standard that I've attempted to live to, yet it was not always so. There was a time in my life when making an extraordinary amount of money was pretty bitching. <br /><br />I will say--to my own credit and therefore self-serving--that after a certain period of time I reviewed the effect of my "success" on the lives of those I had affected. Had there been benefit? Yes. Had there been undue leverage? In too many cases, a frank and fair assessment, yes. I had put people away. <br /><br />I did my penance. That was more than 30 years ago. A fella can change. But I suppose it helps if a fella has a conscience. A moral compass. A rational mind.<br />.OregonGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096619871119860938noreply@blogger.com
