John 3:19-21
"19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
Anarchy
n : a state of lawlessness and disorder
Wow...wow..bow wow??
Its been such a long time since i last wrote. Much has happened since then. Heard distinctively the cry of the people ever since the last made a whimper. (You rarely hear anything in Singapore.) Enough is said about the recent saga that became the "talk of the town" in regards to a certain well-known charity here. So, i won't add on my two cents worth.
However, it gave me an opportunity to seriously evaluate my own integrity on how i am living my life. Would i be secure should my skeletons in the closet be exposed for all the world to see? I doubt it. We all are keeping dark secrets. This secrets are plainly known as sins. Don't bull me that you have no sins ok? I chose not to dwell on the negative though. It then lead me to think about actions that provides constructive solutions that opposes personal anarchy. Anarchy can be plainly explained from the first verse of the Satanic Bible. Its, "Do what thou willed." Well, any really smart dingdong should understand that if we were to subscribe to that, the result would be just be the plain and potent anarchy state.
What then can oppose anarchy? Simple. Accountability. Simple yet many find it hard to do. Most chose to account selectively. Selectively account some truths, omit some facts and only to some people (usually only the people that agrees with you). Is that being really accountable then? Of Course NOT! Should that be the case then we are all "responsibly" accounting! True and no nonsense accountability have these characteristics.
1) It is made known to CORRECT RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE. This is the toughest part. Most times it may be assigned to you, but when its not, you have to actively seek it. Sometimes we are resistant to the authority that is assign to us. In my case, its my God, my conscience, my country's laws and the roles that i play as a contributing person in the society.
2) It is made known plainly, truthfully and confidently. Plainly? Without flowery words or confusing jargon that's misleading. Truthfully? Without omissions of truths nor commission of lies. Confidently? If should a fact be made known without confidence, then the person/s is unsure of his own integrity.
3) It can withstand the test of time and is beyond reproach.
4) It is not subjective to emotions.
5) It strives in its best to answer all doubts. Should that be impossible, it must firm that benefit of a doubt can be easily given.
True accountability can also be synonymous with being responsible. A irresponsible person hates to account for his deeds, words and thoughts. To sum it all up, without proper accounting in a person or organization, anarchy ensue.
Why do i create this blog? It is to account to myself and challenge my thoughts in the yesterday, to day and tomorrows.
So...submit to the authorities of your life. Should you find the need to hide, I pray that you brace yourself and face the music.
In truth,
