Trust and Truth

It can be very hard to trust someone - especially nowadays. I recall a homily from the campus chaplin from Sunday. He said a priest told him once that a society that has oaths all the times is a society of lies. We should always be truthful. If we are honest, there is no need for oaths and it is easier for someone to tell the truth. Think about it. Stop saying "I swear." Just say what you mean and mean what you say. There should be no need for "I swear" at that end of a sentence. If you are an honest person, your word will be valued over an oath. It should be, anyway. Truth builds trust.
