Thank you for your kind comments.
Is...Hi Leonard,<br /><br />Thank you for your kind comments.<br /><br />Isn't it incredible that when we apply the lens of authenticity, it becomes clear that we all play a role in creating an authentic place?<br /><br />As long as mankind is on the planet, there will probably always be some who act in a manner that others define as "wrong".<br /><br />However, it doesn't get addressed unless we all embrace authenticity and collaborate to help each other grow stronger.<br /><br />As you say note - it is about transparency and openness. This is especially true when it is most difficult to embrace. <br /><br />If we can't embrace it during difficult times, how do we grow as individuals and as a society?<br /><br />If we don't, we become a society of the bullied, intimidated, apathetic or indifferent - not a great place to be and not a place for sharing, collaboration, enhanced success or love to exist.<br /><br />Thanks, Leonard - take care and create a great day!<br /><br />HarryHarry Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329922320940535781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-5971822695089348922009-10-02T15:23:25.572-06:002009-10-02T15:23:25.572-06:00Harry,
Thank you for commenting about such a grave...Harry,<br />Thank you for commenting about such a grave issue. I was in the Catholic Seminary for my High School and undergraduate years. Fortunately, the men who were entrusted with our education were men of integrity. Unfortunately, not all priests acted with the same code of conduct. Those that wounded their parishioners left them bleeding rather than forgiven in the confessional box. <br /><br />As you wrote, authenticity is about transparency and openness even when dealing with very serious and painful matters. Thank you for calling our attention to the abuse so that our children are protected.Leonard Szymczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893729795403461221noreply@blogger.com
