The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics are so funny to me because not only are they called "commandments" but also because the wording is like this :

Thou Shalt Not...

After delving into The Crucible by Arthur Miller for at least the twelvth read, one character stands out in my mind: John Proctor. I can't help but ponder the important themes of truth and love that take center stage in the play.

In the midst of Salem's paranoia, a place filled with fear and suspicion, John Proctor's character shows us how complicated human feelings can be. His love for his wife, Elizabeth, is a shining example of a love that goes beyond the ordinary. It's a love so strong that it seems unbreakable.

What really caught my attention is the idea that Proctor's mistake of committing adultery, though hurtful to Elizabeth, isn't the worst thing he did. Cheating on his wife was a regrettable action, but his lies and deceit had even more serious consequences.

We all know the commandment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery." Proctor, who could not recite the commandment when asked, clearly broke that one, and it caused pain and problems in his marriage. But today there is a lesser known commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." In short, this means you should not lie. Proctor's lies ended up causing more damage to his relationship in the end. His lies caused more hurt for the whole community than his infidelity ever would have.

What's really thought-provoking is the depth of love Proctor had for Elizabeth. It's a love that forgives and sticks with you through tough times. It's an admirable love, if only he knew how to communicate. As John Proctor himself reflected, "I have made a bell of my honor! I have rung the doom of my good name." His affair with Abigail Williams, was no secret to Elizabeth, yet his lies built enormous tension and brought ruin to his name in a public light.

But what I've learned from this story is that in a world where people aren't truthful or attempt to hide the truth, it can lead to even more harm than any personal mistake. To own the action, to mend the emotions, and communicate is key. Proctor's lies hurt not just him and Elizabeth but also the whole town of Salem. It caused a lot of problems and suffering for no reason.

So, lying can sometimes be worse than cheating or doing something wrong because it hurts not just you but the people around you. Being honest, even when it's hard, is really important. It can help keep relationships and communities from falling apart.

As shown in The Crucible through the characters love is powerful, but so communication. Both are really important in our lives. Love can heal, and truth can build trust, but they are nothing without the other.

Remember to be honest, even when it's tough, and let love be a guide. In a world full of lies and temptations, our commitment to truth, love, and communication can lead to safety and happiness.

As Elizabeth Proctor said, "The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you." Her words remind us that the true judgment of our actions lies within ourselves. We must grapple with the guilt and consequences of our actions even after foregivness from others.

Let's Break Some Rules

The other day, I blogged about a brave young man who got in trouble for mentioning Jesus in his graduation speech. Now, I’m pretty sure Jesus was up there clapping for him. Why? Because Jesus was the ultimate rule breaker. Not the “Thou shalt nots,” but the rules made by the hypocrites. I remember being 15 when my dad died just before Christmas. I told a friend, “You’re so lucky. You still have…
