A life of achievement is worthless unless you have someone with which to share it.
Happiness comes from being authentic with your partner. You must be able to trust someone with the truth of you.
Imagine being so close to someone that there is no distance at all between you.

Subject: Fwd: Wedding Ceremony

At the point where the minister asked if anyone had anything to say concerning the union of the bride and groom. The moment of utter silence was broken when a beautiful young woman carrying a child stood up.

She starts walking slowly towards the minister. The congregation was aghast - you could almost hear a pin drop.

The groom's jaw dropped as he stared in disbelief at the approaching young woman and child. Chaos ensued.

The bride threw the bouquet into the air and burst out crying.

Then the groom's mother fainted.

The best men started giving each other looks and wondering how to save the situation.

The minister asked the woman, "Can you tell us, why you came forward? What do you have to say?"

There was absolute silence in the church.

The woman replied, "We can't hear you in the back."

And that illustrates what happens when people are considered guilty until proven innocent.

Standards.

There are elements in life that make it possible to live with each other, as a society, as a couple, and with ourselves during this journey we call our "life." Without them there is no order, no solid commitment to one another, no self esteem. It puts us, mankind if you will, above the other creatures of this planet.

I call them "Standards."

We must, as adults, hold to standards of behavior. We must teach them to our children, and insist these standards are upheld by our brethren, and our leaders. One can make a long list, but essentially, they boil down to about five.
1) Fidelity; to friends and spouses, have virtue.
2) Honesty; in all dealings.
3) Integrity; Truthfulness and keeping promises.
4) Selflessness; To put the interest of others before oneself, and to forgive generously.
5) Respect; To laws of the society, and to each other.

Standards are not malleable, fungible, or amendable. They must be universal, equally applied, and rock solid. There can be no equivocation or they are worthless. The compromise of any one of them weakens each of the others.

"Live an honorable life with truth and virtue. Do this so that when you become older, you can be proud as you visit your memories."
