Re: Session 7- Ninth Commandment “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”

Questions to Discuss:

1. Have you ever been hurt by the untruthful words that someone spoke about you to
others? How did you feel? What did you do about it? Did you find it easy to forgive?

-Yes, I’ve been hurt by the untruthful words by someone. I feel sad about it
cause that someone is really special to me and I also feel that I am betrayed by someone
whom I trust most. Well, I talked to her, like why did she do that? What are her
reasons? Because might be she also had her reasons why she did that. It’s not really
easy to forgive someone lying to to you but because of the relationship we had I was
able to forgive her.

2. Part of how we treat people is how we speak about them. What have you said or
listened to recently that is destructive of another person?

- At the time that our high school batch mates had gathered, I had a talk with my
friend and I didn’t know that it bothered him a lot for I asked him why he still has no
job. And for me I didn’t intend to hurt him cause I was just asking but for him he was
a bit destructed about it as I can see it to his face.

3. Write down some ways you and your colleagues could obey this commandment more
completely.

-Part of having a healthy relationship with our colleagues is to have respect with
each other. If you have respect you can be able to not lie and make your colleagues
special by respecting them. Respect covers being true to one another cause even if it
hurts you must be honest in a good way for us to establish a great environment with our
colleagues.
