"God has reason to make a basically beautiful world, although also reason to leave some of the beauty or ugliness of
the world within the power of creatures to determine; but he would seem to have overriding reason not to make a basically
ugly world beyond the powers of creatures to improve. Hence, if there is a God there is more reason to expect a basically
beautiful world than a basically ugly one. A priori, however, there is no particular reason for expecting a basically beautiful
rather than a basically ugly world. In consequence, if the world is beautiful, that fact would be evidence for God’s
existence.....
Richard Swinburne
We live in a world that strives
for perfection. We tan our skin using artificial light, we starve to lose weight to look more like emaciated cover girls and
have cosmetic surgery on everything from toes to noses - all in the name of beauty. Beauty is an integral part of our lives.
For ages, philosophers have been wondering how to define beauty and ugliness. Is beauty in the eye of the beholder?
Running a business is never easy, but research and effective web site can often make a huge difference in increasing trust
and faith and customer satisfaction.
I'll use this site to provide the background for researches
done by reliable and respected individuals in business and explain products I have to offer. People don't want to spend
time figuring out what a business does, so my home page will highlight the most important features of those researches and
mine. I'll think of this home page as a kind of portal, giving customers the information they want at a glance, and offering
lots of links to draw them in to the rest of the site.
I might feature a different item on the home page each month, along with a link to products page where you can find more
information on the product.

Every relationship has the potential for betrayal. The probability of betrayal may be greater when the people involved
are uncertain about what they want, and, perhaps unprincipled.
In many relationships, one of the parties carries most of the weight of being the betrayer, and the other the betrayed.
The painful fact is that sometimes we betray each other. It doesn't mean that we're bad people, but it does mean that
someone gets hurt. If one person is by nature weak and insecure, he or she might always be worried about being betrayed.
Don't split the betrayer/betrayed pattern into you on one side, your partner on the other. Realize that you, too, could
betray someone one day because of your passion or plans or because you can't see any other way. Having a more complex emotional
position like this can really help.If, after all this, you discover that the particular person you're with seems to have no
interest in loyalty and faithfulness, be strong and find someone who is more mature and more prepared to settle into a lasting
union. Wait for the kind of person you want. But while you wait, work on your life. Make it more interesting so that people
will need some security from you and will be motivated to share the emotional power with you. And get to know a dog: They're
not all so bad.
Integrity is the alignment, the correspondence, between what one THINKs (beliefs, values), what one SAYs to others, and
what one DOes. This is to say, integrity exists when THINK = SAY = DO. Picture each of these (THINK, SAY, DO) as a circle.
When the three circles are separated, when there is no alignment between the three behaviors; the person is out of integrity.
When the circles approach each other and overlap to become one circle, the person is integral. Behaviors within the concept
of integrity include: honesty, sincerity, truthfulness, keeping one's word and agreements, punctuality, ethics, fairness and
justice.
Integrity is the basing of one's actions on an internally consistent framework of principles. Depth of principles and
adherence of each level to the next are key determining factors. One is said to have integrity to the extent that everything
he does and believes is based on the same core set of values. While those values may change, it is their consistency with
each other and with the person's actions that determine his integrity.
The concept of integrity is directly linked to responsibility in that implementation spawning from principles is designed
with a specific outcome in mind. When the action fails to achieve the desired effect, a change of principles is indicated.
Accountability is achieved when a faulty principle is identified and changed to produce a more useful action.
Integrity is living what you believe. Being true to what you believe. It is said of Integrity that, "It is better
to have an enemy who keeps his word, than a friend who does not"
