Someone might have, but more is always better.

Also, note that JBK has been around a bit.

Come back to it a bit later when you've had time to digest as such. You'll be fine...confusion will dissapate.

We make a big deal about spelling, but even Shakespeare couldn't spell. And his grammar was terrible. Just look at my signature line. Does that make any sense?

I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste

Fair point, but I side with Zen on this particular point.

it's just that he made a point of this word's spelling, and I had a minor freakout. What? I say. There are two spellings? I've missed this the whole life and am spelling things wrong? (oh, the horror!) So I had to look it up. Phew! It's only the furriners that spell it that way. (relief!)

I care less about how other people spell, than about how I spell.

Both take up thinking space with me.

Anyone who believes that lies are never necessary has never had parents or been in a relationship. :D

That's called a lying spirit...

Quote:

One of the key elements in any relationship, be it a personal or professional one, is the ability to trust and be trusted. Without trust, we have no credibility which is at the core of being able to influence people and provide strong leadership. Without honesty, there is no foundation upon which to build a personal relationship with someone you love.
...

Having integrity and being honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. It’s not simply about being honest with people. Whilst that will make you a better person and a more accepted one it’s more importantly about being honest with yourself.

If we’re honest in all that we do and say, it means we are genuine, real and true whereas dishonesty symbolises all that is fake, fictitious and unreal.

Living your life honestly and with integrity means that you’ve decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be genuine. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in ‘dark corners’. When you’re dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually.

Honesty and integrity produce trust – trust in ourselves and in all those around us. Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to conquer life’s problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to fulfil our goals.

"I spent all day making this Indian dish. The recipe was very complicated. Do you like it?"

Either you like it or you don't.
You don't have to be a dick about not liking it if that's the case, but there's no reason to lie about it.

Hmmmmm... Interesting subject.

I say that lieing is a necessary evil of life. On many levels.

took me a second there. I though jinx was calling HLJ a dick. laf

"I love that you spent your time making me 11 bean soup and it tastes great.....but if I eat it at every meal for 3 days, which MIGHT use it all up before it goes bad, I'm afraid my asshole will fall off."

Great. Thanks. But when I throw out more soup than you eat it reduces my motivation to make more.

Telling the truth doesn't mean people are always going to be happy with what you say, it just means you have integrity and can be trusted.

Exactly what they said, up there. Because, Mr Honest JBK, I asked you a legitimate question and you've ignored it. That's not honesty, when you invite people to ask you those sorts of questions then you play all around it.

And, as imperfect as I am, I try to be true.
