Someone lied, cheated, was unfaithful to a partner, Isn't it all the same? NO! In the next I'd like to share some thoughts few weeks, about myths surrounding infidelity. It's not my favourite subject, but it is a real problem in today's world Why? Perhaps some of us have bought into the lies that “we just couldn't help ourselves.” We will share ideas written by Dr. Frank Pittman III who has written a book on the sub- ject, Private Lies: Infidelity and the Betrayal of Intimacy. Myth #1: Everybody is unfaithful, It is nor- mal, expected behavior. If we took our cue from the soap operas, we would certainly say yes! It is estimated about half of married men and a third of women have been unfaithful That still leaves a great many who are not. It's my belief a great many of these have chosen tion, Humans used to be monogamous. What healthy boy and Cosmopolitan have urged a sexual revolution to add spice to a marriage. It is true an affair that is blatant enough will get your mate's attention and will shake up the most petrified marriage. It may be safer to burn the house down. It certainly will be more forgiv- able, The reality is that infidelity will blow most marriages out of existence. Romantic affairs lead to a great many divorces, suicides, homicides, heart attacks and strokes, but not to very many successful remarriages. Chances are great it will burn itself out. Then you must face not only the wreckage of several lives, but the original depression from which the d?

One day, a child begged to be carried across the river and St. Christopher hoisted him up on his shoulder without difficulty. However, by the time they had got only part way across, the saint found he was carrying a heavier burden than he had ever carried before, and he only made the further shore with the greatest difficulty. It was only then he realized he had been car- rying the Christ Child who, in turn, was carrying all of the sins of the world. This ical cis of Assissi, by continuing with “So, go into the marketplace, into a job of your own choosing, with out fanfare or flag waving Where there is hate, bring in love. Where there is darkness carry in light. In other words, be a Christ-bearer.”’ With unflagging zeal, Father Keller wrote books, spoke on the lecture platform and performed on radio and TV, recognizing the OVER MY SHOULDER JOHN CHARTERS importance of communication in the struggle against evil.

Aghast at the destruction of life and property and deeply dis- turbed by the Cold War which followed, Father Keller, a Mary- knoll Missioner, decided to go back to basics and found his answer in the capacity of the individual human being to do good and and in Christ's com- mand to “go into all the world.” He started out with the simple but profound though that since less than one per cent of present humanity (Hitler, Stalin, etc) had d to cause most of the See SELKIRK Bo Graeme at the Castlegar campus.

This is the illu- sion, dream and postulate of Christianity.” The second is a quote from Adolf Hitler: “To the Christian doctrine of the infinite signifi cance of the individual human soul,,.1 oppose with icy clarity the saving doctrine of the noth ingness and insignificance of the human being.” Back in 1948, Omar Bradley one of the saner of the American generals, had this to say: “We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount, Man is stumbling through a spiritual darkness while toying with the precarious secrets of life and death. “The world has achieved bril- liance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethi- cal infants.” When I was teaching biology, | never tired of reminding my stu dents, “If you have learned noth- ing else from this course you will have learned that you, as an indi- vidual, are unique in this world. You are one of a kind. The mass is a formless non-entity, the mob is the lowest common denomina- tor. It is your responsibility to discover your own uniqueness and make the best of it.
