Is Character Destiny?

Is it? I have no idea. But prior to the general election, I mentioned Oskar Schindler often. He was corrupt; a thief and a philanderer, yet without those skills, he could not have saved the lives that he did.

My husband is a great guy, but trust me. He’s not the guy you want trying to lie you through immigration.

So, is character destiny? My first response is to ask those who survived because of Schlindler’s ability to lie and cheat. Those on Schindler’s list, so to speak.

What say you: Is character destiny?

    …but simply having the talent to deceive doesn’t mean someone is a bad person. There are people who get paid a lot of money to tell lies and have them believed. We call them actors. (I’m certainly not saying that all actors have good character, but that’s neither here nor there.) What matters is not the skill but how it is used.

    ?

    I am a talented liar. So much so that I had to take a vow to all that’s holy to be honest. I haven’t had much occasion to use lying for a good cause – I wonder if I’ve lost my skill through non-use?

    I only use my talent for pulling legs.
