If you have watched any of the news, you have seen famous athletes –and some celebs and politicos–whose one stellar reputations are found out to be frauds. And lying is “okay” until you get caught.
When has that ever been “right?” When I did lie, my mother would knock me into tomorrow. And I never could pull one over on Daddy. (Those who met/knew my father understand.)
As an adult though, if I lie–even if it is to not hurt someone’s feelings–I feel guilty. I’m not a holier-than-thou woman, and I’m not perfect–very far from it. I do have a conscience. I have to live with myself and answer to a higher power. I have children and family who look up at and to me. I would hate to embarrass them.
Where is personal accountability?
End of my sermon. Go forth and do a random act of kindness.
I totally agree. Well stated.
Thanks, Debbie!
