In April, I wrote a prayer that I just re-read. Re-reading it was worthwhile because it states a sin (the betrayal of truth), the effect of betrayal (anger and torment) and the need for divine intervention (the prayer).
Dishonesty is not limited to individuals, it is part of business, it is in politics, in the government bureaucracy, in the laws of San Francisco and in the enforcement of its laws.
Just like a party to a contract who would intentionally and unethically breach a contract knowing that the cost for the non-breaching party to litigate the matter is higher than the cost for breaching party to fulfill its promise, the City of San Francisco has unjust and unconstitutional laws that have nothing to do with the public good in order to serve certain special interests, knowing full well that an individual unwittingly trapped by such a law would rather pay an unjust fine than to challenge its constitutionality.
I see the corruption of man and the corruption of his institutions and that infuriates me. May God grant me calm and inner peace while being tormented by the realities of sin.
