What my mama taught me

[tama]

Well, at least tried to teach in words if not allways in deeds, preciate the effort and ever more forgivingly that I myself constantly remind me myself that we parents do make mistakes. :)

Anyway, you know, having manners and behaving: "be considerate, speak politely, be generous and forgiving, don't fight, be truthfull, yada yada..." - but not bad advice.

Especially if we think what could be a positive meaning for faith, something we could all share? How about faith in each other? Faith that we are capable of acting the way our mama taught us and treat eachother with respect and human kindness? Faith that we are capable of learning as individuals and together? Faith that we can learn to get along better? Faith in each other, how about that learning a truth like that, making it true?

I must say I get sometimes irritated by the compulsive debate style discussion, very often in the manner of picking a detail and demanding that the detail should be proven and then getting personal whether getting in that game or not. That kind of discussion style certainly has it's place in some academic occations and debate clubs and courts of justice - or not, don't really know - but that's not how people talk to each other. If we wan't to get personal with each other, why not with kindness?

Here's a suggestion. We who like to share our thought and experiences on this forum do an experiment of learning the truth of having faith in each other. Little scientific empiricism, we can try it and see what happens. So I would like to ask each of you, to get to know you better as fellow beings I can have faith in, are you true to yourself and what is your truth?
