THE DILEMMA -
"Many of us
have exclaimed,
'You mean I even
have to tell the truth
about that?' or 'If only I
could still lie, steal, or
cheat, it would be so
much easier to get
what I want.' " (It
Works, How &
Why, p. 47)
THE SOLUTION -
" ... whenever we had to choose between character and comfort, the character- building was lost in the dust of our chase after what we thought was happiness." "We never thought of making honesty, tolerance, and true love of man and [our H.P.] the daily basis of living." (12 & 12, p. 72)
"People grow
through experience
if they meet life honestly
and courageously. This
is how character is
built."
- Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962) U.S. First Lady & ardent feminist
