Even those who lie, and bear false witness, well, often they see such measures as being justified in a Good Cause.

Zoe,
I appreciate the generosity you extend to others and admit I do not have enough of that goodness to do the same. I cannot justify the actions of those who lie and bear false witness as a way to advance their cause, all the while hurting another in their efforts. I see it as cruel and very unnecessary.

We should also listen to them, because it just may be occasionally that they have a good point, and it’s we who are mistaken. It;’s necessary to have intellectual honesty, and a humble and contrite heart, or we become just like them.

Yes, I agree. It is a privilege to listen and be listened to. Only we can discern what advances harmony and truth and what doesn’t. Thank you.
