I know of one person who thinks he is so strong that he conrols everything around him but never obey laws…that even the law of gravity, if he could, he will disobey…LOL!!..

Laws are not for to control the weak but to create order..without law/rules there will be chaos…

I’d say, the weak controls the law, the honest and the strong obey laws because the strong desires order..the weak attracts to chaos…

I think you were extremely smart to insist that the contract when your way in case of death,etc. It has definitely been a change for you to move to the Phoenix area. Protect yourself. As Paulo has said and I will paraphrase … Always have an exit plan, even in the best of situations …. In your case it’s a stay plan. :-)

Love ya,

Hi Elaine,

All I tried to say is, Honesty in 2009 doesn’t cut it, we have to think about legal implications even in romantic relationships, even though it takes all the romance away!

Love & admiration,
Heart

Hello dear Thelma,

I really like your sentence ‘Our conscience is the law’
I also find a lot of truth in that. I think each person has varying degrees of conscience.
For conversation sake, if our conscience is law, then it would be correct to say ‘conscience controls the weak, honesty controls the strong.’ So, to avoid being weak, how do we get rid of the conscience??

Ahhhhh! a very smart Heart!

How old were the children when you married? Even step-children who are out of the house can cause trouble for a second marriage. On the other hand, step-children can be pleasant gift, too.

Thanks for sharing. In a male celebrity’s defense, I must say that it has to be difficult (I was going to say hard, but….) for them when so many women flaunt themselves in front and all over them. Most humans love attention and being told that they are beautiful. Ohhhh they “dig it” not realizing that the compliment giver is really looking to be the monetary receiver. Then it all rolls along … nice at first … then down to the dark depth of embarrassment and pain later. Ohhhh yeah, they dug it at first …. now they have to dig themselves out and it stinks for more than them. Think of all the people who are affected by Tiger’s lovely choices.

Something for us all to ponder….
Love ya,
Lainee

i think its very true that honesty control the strong , but i think that sometimes we are forced to follow rules (especially social rules)that we are against just to satisfy people that we love (parents , family , lover…) and then we put on masks and start to be professional liers with ourselves and then with others …so i think honesty control the strong but sometimes it become a victim of traditions …

Put this great quote in context of romantic love. Honesty, two hearts love each other and agree to commit to each other. The Law, get a judicial agreement, to prove your intentions to the whole society, and make sure one or the other don’t get screwed.

Just yesterday, I heard Tiger Woods and his lovely Sweedish swimsuit model wife, went to a lawyer re negotiating their pre-nuptial agreement. Originally she will get 20 million dollars if they divorce after ten years. Now that Tiger Woods is cough cheating with at least 3 different women, is the immediate reaction from the heart, oh let’s make as much money from this. Kobe Bryan bought his wife a knock out diamond when he was caught cheating. One reporter says she understand Tiger Woods cheat when it seems the first thing his wife now think about is re negotiating their lawful wedding agreement. Well, also she apparently hit him with a metal golf club and chased him out of their home, and supposedly called one of the mistress up and smashed the phone on the floor. Another ‘happy’ divorce coming to mind was how Heather Mills squeezed as much as she could out of Paul McCartney. Oh god, isn’t it nasty when law take over! But we don’t want to be completely exploited by the men either. I must admit, having married a man who was divorced and with children, I made sure to get a contract saying nobody can claim our house except me and my husband, before I took up a large mortgage to buy one!!

Love,
heart

Honesty lives in a person, without any visual, mental distinction, without asking for their name, sex, age, religious beliefs, proffession, personal choises, medical diagnosis. If to say, that the truth shall set us free, and lets us love on a different level, then yes… in that way, honesty controls. Because You do not want to be corrupted, living a lie.

The United Nations’ Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (2000) recognises that women are often in an unequal power situation and make decisions because of their lack of choices or the authority of the person or persons with whom they are dealing. In the protocol, trafficking covers a wide range of activities, including sexual exploitation, forced labour, and organ removal. It also holds that consent is not absolute – where secured through threats, deception, abuse of power, or other ways of gaining control over another person, consent is irrelevant.

Ο νόμος δημιουργήθηκε για να προάγει την κοινωνική ευταξία και τη δικαιοσύνη.
Απέναντι στο νόμο όλοι είναι και πρέπει να είναι ίσοι.
Ο νόμος δεν δημιουργήθηκε για ορισμένη κατηγορία πολιτών δημιουργήθηκε για όλους.
Δεν δημιουργήθηκε μόνο για τους αδύναμους τους παραβάτες αλλά και για αυτούς που είναι τίμιοι, αν ο νόμος έκανε αυτές τις διακρίσεις τότε δεν θα ήταν νόμος και επομένως δεν θα υπήρχε κανένας λόγος να υπακοούμε σε αυτόν.
Η τιμιότητα είναι αρετή, είναι ηθικός κώδικας και ως εκ τούτου δεν υποχρεωτική αντιθέτως η τήρηση του νόμου είναι υποχρεωτική.
Ας μην ξεχνάμε πως ο Θεός δεν έδωσε μόνο τις δέκα εντολές για τους αμαρτωλούς αλλά και για τους ενάρετους και αυτό το έκανε , ώστε οι αμαρτωλοί να έχουν τη δυνατότητα νά μεταννοούν και οι εναρέτοι να είναι ταπεινοί έχοντας πάντα υπόψη τους ότι είναι πολύ εύκολο να γίνεις αμαρτωλός αρκεί να παραβείς μία εντολή.
Από τα παραπάνω θέλω να καταλήξω ότι ο νόμος έχει την ίδια ακριβώς αξία αφού προσδιορίζει τις ποινές δίνει τη δυνατότητα στον αδύναμο να υποβληθεί στη ποινή και έτσι να επανορθώσει.
Ταυτόχρονα υπενθυμίζει σε όλους τους δυνατούς ότι αρκεί μια παράβαση του νόμου για να μην τους ελέγχει η τιμιότητα και τότε θα ελεγχθούν και θα κριθούν, όπως και οι αδύναμοι.

Dear Thelma,
I think that mere existence is an Tune act with the creator, be it bodies or souls, light or darkness, no difference.
The conscious role here is to become conscious of this fact and by that be in tune with its real nature which will lead to harmony..
If not, the result will be that ego/conscious will be playing an out of tune note and will be foreign to its true nature causing all sorts of depressions,wars,hate,..etc..
Wish you great day.

Most people think that being honest is not lying. Yes, this is part of it and many men are strong because of this belief. The strongest men, and I will follow DEN ROD here by calling them “Superheros,” are those who “quietly” display TRUTH TELLING, TRUTH SPEAKING, TRUTH LIVING, and TRUTH LOVING.

Think of those with whom you associate. Which ones can be considered HONEST? Smile as you think of them. Then thank them for being a beautiful part of your life.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO HONEST. YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

thats a very interesting view and i understand it

weak people need laws and boundries to govern them

the strong and honest person doesnt as they will always be able to justify their actions

i always tell my friend if you are honest no one will hate you or dislike you. they may not like what they hear (the truth hurts and all that), but they will not hate you. honesty is the best policy

lie, and you give people a reason to hate, dislike and not trust.

guess i’m going of on a tangent…

but agree weak people need laws and boundries as they are afraid or lack courage .. they can then ‘justify’ their action by saying i am following the law. the law is the law.

the strong person can justify any action by being honest and truthful as to why the did it. wheter the action is deemed good or bad.

thats me done for tonite . peace all

The laws exist for that we live all in “good terms”, not only for the weak. The honesty is the best option in the life. Sometimes the ignorance returns the invisible honesty.

Dear Olta:

Before anything, thank you for your response and attention. I can assure you that a lot of people (people I know)suffers in a greater scale due to their lack of honesty within themselves. The result of all this, is the suffering and falling into something far more dangerous,which is the lack of indentity….it’s when you start losing who you are and become a leaf to the mercy of life’s winds….this (at least to me) causes me a great fear.

There has been times when I have lied to myself, but the experience of dishonesty towards myself, avoids me to fall in a lie within me.

Thank you once again,

Inzaghi
