In your mind, should deception be shunned as much as negative behavior that can be seen outwardly? It is interesting b/c it seems that many in many of our orgs may do things that we are more willing to tolerate because it doesn't come to light. For instance, I recall a man in a BGLO saying once that his fraternity brothers were wrong for not being faithful to their wives but as long as it didn't come to light, like, say alcoholism, it was more accepted because of the fact that it was not apparent and therefore did not *outwardly* cast a negative light on the organization.

Oh what webs we weave when we first try, try to deceive...
What comes around goes around... It is that circular reasoning that many in the minds of those of African descent use...
Eventually, those that are deceptive will get caught, one way or another...
Dude that cheats on his wife may be able to hide it from her, but what if he passes HIV to his wife and she is faithful???
See, folks are always trying to "buck" the system, surpass living life as a season... Life does not move in that form... I wish that it did, alas, we have to live through it...
Lemme put it to you like this: You are arguing issues of PRINCIPALITIES... Spiritual issues. There are a lot of bad Spirits among us. What we must do, is surround and bathe ourselves with the good and enriching Spirits, while living a selfless life... That is hard to do when we are circling the Wheel of Life and stay in one zone for too long... Our kind of folks have a tendancy to do that, often...
How do we transcend it? By calling on a power greater than us... We are incapable of solely doing it on our own... We need that belief of transcendance to KNOW that somehow, what we are here on Earth for is making difference... That is our lot in life as humans...
Most folks live in denial... And remember, DENIAL is not just a river in Egypt...
