5th Questions

Q. What do you make of mankind's behaviour to each other?

A. It lacks honesty. None of you can be 100% honest about how you feel. You have loyalty in the wrong places. A bishop will side with a sex offending priest and not with the victim. This type of behaviour is puzzling to me, and I fail to understand its motivation. I would think that by now you would have found had great it is to be brutally honest. That doesn't mean you will offend each other. You would learn to treasure the words from others, and you would soon discover that each of us own our own feelings. How you react and how other people react are personal and individual feelings. You can not control how someone else feels. You can not take responsibility for other people's reactions. Imagine how good it would feel to say how you feel without being concerned about how others feel. They can express that themselves.

Q. Won't others be offended by that?

A. That is my point. When you spend so much time concerned with how others will react to you, you stop being honest. We all must learn to own our own feelings and express those as we like. Whether or not someone else takes offence is really not your problem.
