We are often uncertain how others will perceive our actions, even perhaps uncertain how comfortable we are with our own actions ...yet, there is also a greater sense that looms within most people, of wondering how to reconcile our actions with the thoughts we image our Supreme Being is having in reference to those actions.

It is problematic to only consider what others may think ...

It is also problematic to only care about what we ourselves think ...

Or to not care at all ...

One episode of telling a lie ...does not make one untrustworthy, nor does it make one a 'world class' liar.

Though, to attempt to cover a lie often requires many more lies ...and perhaps soon one could qualify, and be given the opportunity to participate in international competition.  But, that requires either a large number of people to be duped, or a significant number of loyal and dedicated ...and mostly organized and experienced liars.

Similarly, one episode of being drunk ...does not make one a drunkard.  But, patterns do begin to grow, especially if the result does not seem too consequential ...and often a much opposite result is experienced, of it feeling rather good.  So, if the episode is followed by a repeated or recurring event, it may grow to the extent where it could be viewed as a problem.

Yet, before something is viewed as anything at all ...it is often already a different sort of problem, in the way we view something to be.
