..I. agree..being genuine & authentic is important, but its all in the "eye of the beholder"..and the beholder always has a conscious or unconscious bias in one direction or another..... if I am auditioning in front of a homosexual director she may determine that I am not a person of integrity because I am opposed to homosexuality ...yet I am being genuine & authentic according to my faith & beliefs, ...yet the director doesn't like me for it and may even say its "not authentic" ...u see the problem ?
KEEP the FAITH I! it's about FAITH, ABOUT GOD, JESUS, HOLY SPIRIT, LOVE ..peace, joy, kindness, care, happiness.. about doing what's right.. treating others better than yourself, about servant leadership, .. it's about hoping for the best from others, even when we live in a world with too much anger and mistreatment of others.. KEEP HOPING for the BEST from others..and DO UNTO OTHERS AS u would HOPE they do UNTO U..
