Well it could be too old fashioned to make it a practice anymore! Obviously there are many people that do maintain high standards and integrity, but its sad that we live in a time where the lines are so blurry and
no one seems to know who or what to believe. I’m sharing this not as jab
towards any particular group or belief system, but more as a reminder to those
that spend so much time and great imagination creating false truths, having no
second thoughts about it. Who are these people?
There seems to be no limitations for those hyped up,
warp-minded souls that thrive on creating as much chaos, confusion and lies (as
though the world needs anymore) all for sake of making a splash on the internet
and virtually every other social media outlet in cyberspace.
Sitting on the couch last night, my wife happens to mention
a post on Facebook about this scandalous report of Tony Romo and Jason Wittin
having an intimate relationship, finally coming out of the closet after all
these years. Again, the issue in my mind isn’t about the sexual lifestyle preference,
because today its become socially acceptable for many, but more disturbing, the
total lack of responsibility for attacking another human being with a boldfaced
lie. No scruples or integrity, and sadly many of us jump right on the bandwagon
as evidenced by the huge viral swell that this dirty little lie created.
It has become an acceptable practice in our society today to
manufacture whatever it takes to draw attention and create entertaining buzz. And many within the entertainment and advertising industries have made an art
of it. And John Q Public in many ways continues to drink the Kool-Aid, fueling
that momentum by not insisting on the facts to back it up. But would rather enjoy
the lie for a little while.
So what’s your point? Simple. Think before you share, and be
responsible for the sake of protecting your own and others integrity.
“Nothing is at last sacred but
the integrity of your own mind.”
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
Integrity:
adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character;
honesty. Shouldn’t this still be a timeless concept?
