Truth or Fair: The Tale of the Dog by Valerie Aubert
Of the things we think, say, or do: Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned?
I am grateful that Rotary challenges us to the above standards. But it is not always easy.
How do we determine if something is true? Or fair? There are 27 meanings listed in the Old English Dictionary's entry for the word truth, eight of which are labelled obsolete. Fair can also be defined in multiple ways. Three of the most relevant: 1) Free from favoritism or self-interest or bias or deception; 2) conforming with established standards or rules; 3) Not excessive or extreme.
I remember when I was young (and very disappointed by something that just did not seem right) my father would tell me that life was not always fair. Sometimes it is just a place you ride rides and play games. And as an adult, I have often been challenged to consider reality vs. perception.
Perhaps it takes a particular situation to help us better understand truth and fairness. Most recently for me, it is our second rescue dog, Moose. We wish Moose could talk and tell us his story. We would listen. REAR MORE
