Early Medical Retirement from Federal Employment: Diaphanous characters

Like garments left little for the imagination, the thin veil we wear rarely conceals the warts and freckles which spread throughout the malignancy of our souls.  People often mistake and confuse Christendom’s barring of an impure taint from entering the gates of its exclusive club; it is not what you did, but that you did it, and refused to take the steps to expiate the uncleanliness.

Can more words validate the sincerity of previously spoken words merely uttered in an informal setting of pleasantry and conversational discourse? Does a track record of broken promises undermine the sincerity of future intentions conveyed by more words? […] Read More …
