The TRUTH
who are you ?, and maybe more iteresting is to ask, what is your TRUTH. outside of the covers of social behavior, and what we are thouhgt, tell me about your TRUTH. does what belive in governs our behavior or our TRUTH. If we annouced God is dead, and anything goes, what effect does that have on your being. Does it change you, do you become different, Are you able to lie, and cheat and kill, steal, and without the gaurantees of Heaven an Hell, would you metamorphis to anything beyound your TRUTH.
I was watching a documentry about the jews that immigrated to Shanghai, China around 1941. Their lives, their swurvival. and one of the men that lived in that period in China, told us about the person who ran their lives ther and his atrosities, and how the survivor had made a pack with himself to kill the guy upon the change of the regim.
The Americans took the harbor, and the person in chrge was left in prison, so our survivor and a few friends caught him and were set to kill him. To their surprise they were not able to and let him go. They had the appourtunity, but it was not in them to kill another human being, they could not do it. Could you
If you know no one is watching would you steal, cheat, or as they say if you could getaway with it would you. if it is not in you, if it is not part of who you are and your TRUTH, you would not. so where is the fairness in that, is it by nature or nurture that we become who we are. do you learn goodness, do you learn love, kindness, do you.
Marjan had just gotten pregnant and in the mist of a new promotion in her job, and becoming the principal of a new venture. It could bring us more money, and more prestige for her at work. When a friend suggested that she should hide it, get the new promotion, and once moved to the new job and taken control of it she should announce it. It sounded pratical, it sounded okay, but for Marjan it was not right, she did not do that, the next day she told her boss, and agreed to step down giving the job to someone else. They did not do that, she got the promotion, and although she had said firmly that after the birth of our child she would not work again, they choose to keep her as long as they could. It was not within her Truth to lie.
We do lose a lot denying our truth, and will never survive going against it, and that is the Truth.

She did what was wise. We had a coworker that did not tell us she was pregnant until she was hired. It put us all in a dreadful situation and it was unfair on my friend who had to pick up the work. It is difficult though for the female as I have had friends who are anxious about disclosing their preganancies out of fear of loosing their job. The pressure is often great, but it's often best to tell the person that you are expecting - it works out the best in the end. Congratulations. And again thank you so much for making us all so important on your site.
