Hi Kathy and Alexia
This is a very interesting concept. For me, it brings to mind the hypocracy that seems to be so much a part of our daily lives any more. Yes, the church pews are full of hypocrits. As are the other gathering places where people try to put on display the self that does not exist. In fact, I believe that this entire world is being run by such hypocrits. Especially our own country. As far as being a threat goes, I believe that we can avoid all that simply by living by the motto " do onto others as you would have them do onto you.". Also there is a very simple prayer that sums life up quite nicely. It is called The Serenity Prayer. Here it is just in case you or some of your readers haven't seen it before.
The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the
SERENITY
to accept the things
I cannot change ~
COURAGE
to change the
things I can;
and
WISDOM
to know the difference.
I believe that life can be very simple and that it is this simplicity that makes it possible for us to truly enjoy our existence
For some of us it is not nessesary to weave our way between the forces of good and evil.
All we need is a simple philosophy that we believe in and the willingness to live by that philosophy.
Thank you for the thought provoking forum Kathy.
