You are not even about to cheat anybody. There is a sense of straightforwardness and simplicity. With setting-sun vision, or vision based on cowardice, straightforwardness is always a problem. If people have some story or news to tell somebody else, first of all they are either excited or disappointed. Then they begin to figure out how to tell their news. They develop a plan, which leads them completely away from simply telling it. By the time a person hears the news, it is not news at all, but opinion. It becomes a message of some kind, rather than fresh, straightforward news. Decency is the absence of strategy. It is of utmost importance to realize that the warrior’s approach should be simple-minded sometimes, very simple and straightforward. That makes it very beautiful: you having nothing up your sleeve; therefore a sense of genuineness comes through. That is decency.","author":"Chögyam Trungpa","tags":["decency","genuine","simplicity","straightforwardness","warrior"],"id":4073,"author_id":"Ch%C3%B6gyam+Trungpa"},{"text":"Love your neighbor, even the ones who do not show you the same courtesy. You can’t expect to receive love if you’re selective and not really willing to give it. What you put into the world, you will indeed get back, even if it’s not from the person you’re expecting it to be.","author":"Alexandra Elle","tags":["genuine","giving","karma","love","universe"],"id":9151,"author_id":"Alexandra+Elle"},{"text":"A relationship that is truly genuine does not keep changing its colors.

Maybe their wives have no social ambitions; maybe they've hit a sentence or two in a 'dangerous book' that pleased them; maybe they started on the treadmill as I did and were knocked off. Anyway, they're the congressmen you can't bribe, the Presidents who aren't politicians, the writers, speakers, scientists, statesmen who aren't just populate grab-bags for a half-dozen women and children.","author":"F. Scott Fitzgerald","tags":["ambition","genuine","unaffected"],"id":15124,"author_id":"F.+Scott+Fitzgerald"},{"text":"I do not much trust the man who cares solely to inspire - he does not really inspire me - only the man who cares mostly to tell the truth, whatever that may do. For when the man who cares to tell the truth happens to inspire, I, in addition, find it easier to believe that he in fact does his homework on how and when one should truly inspire.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["believe","false-prophet","genuine","homework","honesty","inspiration","misguidedness","motivation","naivety","prophet","research","sincerity","trust","truth","wishful-thinking"],"id":32323,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"I have diligently disciplined my life to search out life’s gifts in the very places where society mistakenly says life stores its scraps.

It is not some pleasure of God's, as some might imagine, to stand around critiquing, arms crossed, holding a whip. I suppose that when someone weeps over their sins, He extends His hands; He wants them to lift their head and embrace Him and the mercy He's willing to show. But when someone is proud of their sins, He delivers His justice swiftly and righteously. Sin does not intimidate God - although He takes it very seriously - it does no real harm to Him whatsoever, only to the sinner and to other people: and He loves people.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["apologetics","christ","christ-jesus","critiquing","death","forgiveness","genuine","god","grace","harm","heart","jesus","jesus-christ","judgment","justice","love","mercy","mistakes","obedience","punishment","repentance","sin","sincere","whip"],"id":37695,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"Imagination is a very potent thing, and in the uneducated often usurps the place of genuine experience.","author":"H.
