<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1277605, member: 31533"]I agree that certain professions do have truth, honesty, and trust being a "part" of that profession, and I am certain many people do uphold those tenets, but I still think it is part of the person's own morals that he sees his profession as an extension of his own being and continues to do so, even when confronted with situations he would not foresee. I'm glad you see it as a part of the career you have chosen, and I have no reason to disbelieve you about something you personally are testifying to about yourself and all. But I still would not trust a statement from another about someone in your profession or any other profession as being someone who would not lie simply because they are in that profession. The correlation is just not there. You may or may not be correct in making that assumption that someone else would not lie, but it's the correlating of someone's working life to a personal trait of lying or not lying that I'm scoffing at. Many people who are in positions of trust, where telling the truth and being honest in all dealings is part and parcel (so to be believed) of those positions get caught in lies and mis-deeds. Having an oath to take, in and of itself does not have an affect on someone unless that person also has the wherewithal and desire to always, and in all situations, no matter the consequences to him, uphold that oath....and that to me is having moral fiber. I believe it comes from within a person and not by way of an occupation or profession.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
