Being
honest
Re
Our View, March 9:
"Stewart's lying backfires" was
right on target. The importance of honesty
in our American culture has been greatly
damaged and erodes further with each passing
generation. This article reinforces my hope
that somebody feels the importance of this
fact. So many things are wrong with society
today and many things appear to have a greater
priority. But this is an issue we can take
back and take control of replacing in our
culture. Each and every one of us can by
example show others and the next generation
the value honesty has in this society. One
additional example I may add would be what
the troubled Pete Rose, a baseball hall
of fame wannabe, has experienced because
he just couldn't come clean. Collectively
we need to feel comfortable in admitting
a mistake, biting the bullet, taking responsibility
and moving on. Have the faith that this
society is by nature a forgiving one and
unless personally injured can and will allow
the process of correction and resolution
to occur with the passage of time. It comes
down to having faith in yourself and your
neighbors to do the right thing.
