  • Out of Context

    'Let me say that it does matter whether you tell the truth or not - not to god, which does not exist, but to yourself'

    Please don't take my words out of context. If you read my whole post, I stressed the importance of loving your spouse and family and being truthful to them, not just to yourself. Of course we want to live in a world in which people are honest, non-violent and compassionate. We should educate our children to culivate these virtues and avoid the vices of selfishness, dishonesty, greed, violent behavior. None of this has anything to do with superstitious beliefs. My sentence has nothing to do with selfishness.
