Well, Do people like to lie or are people put in a envirnoment where they have to. I am not sure about whether both should be carried out by individuals but I have realized that the latter is a bit less of a “sin” than the first. Having said that, I think it is important to confess the truth even in a situation that exhibits dilemma. I think I realized this now and have confessed the truth to the people involved in this dilemma. And what I have realized is that if the people involved are really concerned about your well being, then chances are that telling the truth is the best thing to do. It also somehow lifts alot of pressure off your shoulders.

Another thing I learnt about being prejudice and judgemental. Well the point here is this, I was very skeptical about people going to strip bars. I felt that it is unethical and should not be done especially by people who are married. But I came across an example that well you could say made me think otherwise. Suppose you are or should be practicing something, i.e. praying but your roommate does it on a regular basis but he still attends strip bars, yet you view strip bars as an unethical thing and he views praying as an important thing.Yet your roomate does not make any views about you or does not judge you on the fact that you do not pray, I think you should do the same for him and not judge for attending strip bars. Simple case but hard to understand. Hope I made sense. Its hard not being judegemental, but we can atleast try and reduce it Right!!!

Started writing again!!! Just got off a chat with a new mentor of mine, well he is my boss currently. I was very confused as to why an individual should learn one skill in the IT industry if he/she wants to become a president or chairman of a company,at a certain point in time in their life. Well he asked me to think about Bruce Lee, well bruce lee mastered an art called wing chun, and than he created his own kind of martial art. The basic point here he said was that you cann be jack of all and master of none but master of one and jack of all. Made alot of sense to me, hope this helps to anyone who is reading this.
