Be True To Yourself (In Thought, Word, and Deed) and It Follows…

Politicians, salesmen, businessmen, doctors, lawyers, and yes even religious leaders, or should I say especially religious leaders, are often guilty of perpetuating misinformation. I suppose that is equally true of both all professional and non-professional people alike for we are all guilty stretching the truth beyond all recognition at times.

Our thoughts, words, and deeds should align, yet often they do not and when that happens there are problems. These problems manifest in many ways and can even affect our health. None of us are immune to the law of cause and effect expressed in the old adage, “You cannot do wrong and get by, no matter how hard you may try.” There are consequences when we play fast and loose with the truth.

I suppose having once considered myself a religious person, I am harder on preachers and religious folk than others when it comes to misrepresenting the truth. A Bible verse comes to mind:

I will keep this brief and just conclude with the rest of the quote I picked for the title of this piece. If we are true to ourself it follows that we cannot be false to others
