Character Is Everything: What Is Truthfulness?
For some reason people in society believe that there is nothing wrong with lying or bending the truth. People can usually find a way to justify their actions by saying, “Oh, that was just a little white lie,” and they really do believe that there is nothing wrong with lying. What is truthfulness and why is it so important? The definition of the word truthfulness is earning future trust by accurately reporting past facts. People who are truthful earn trust and are viewed by others as being honest. People’s reputations are based upon their ability to tell the truth, and people’s lives can be ruined if they are viewed as liars.
The Rich Man’s Son
Lou Dobbs said that he was sorry about calling Governor Eliot Spitzer an idiot. Sincerely. As for ripping the New York Democrat as arrogant, spineless and “a spoiled rich kid brat,” the host of CNN’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight” stands by those nationally broadcast broadsides.
Yeah, Eliot Spitzer was a rich kid, and that might have made him feel superior. Maybe his genius IQ made him feel superior and that’s why he turned out to be so self-righteous, so argumentative, and have an insatiable desire to prove that everyone is wrong and he was the only one who was right.
