| “If you punish a child for being naughty and reward him for being good, he will do right merely for the sake of the reward; and when he goes out into the world and finds that goodness is not always rewarded, nor wickedness always punished, he will grow into a man who only thinks about how he may get on in the world, and does right or wrong according as he finds advantage to himself.” Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) |  |
“God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars.” Elbert Hubbard (1859-1915)
Jane has finished her story and these are now the words of her lifelong friend and partner, Andrew Jameson. I have remained quiet - supportive of Jane and the injustice that was served by so many fearful, evil and malicious people yet the cruel, callous and process orchestrated by so few.
Today, one of those few and especially malicious people experienced the destruction of their career and aspirations. She was discarded by those she thought held her in such high regard - redundant - tossed onto the scrap heap of unfulfilled hopes, dreams and futility at the age of 54.
Her only recognition for all her efforts was a cheap handbag !
If there was anything about her, she’d build a new and exciting venture but all her proud qualifications come to nothing when there’s no heart and soul. Like the proverbial empty vessel ...
She was often referred to as “The Leaky Conduit” - if the head teacher needed to be made aware of anything controversial, you told her in confidence and he’d soon know and later so would everyone else !
She was guilty of betraying Jane’s friendship and commitment in order to further her own worthless ends.
Her own code of ethics confused the hell out her during Jane’s case – mainly because she couldn’t figure out what to say without lying. At both hearings, she confused Jane’s barristers by announcing that they’d “expected” her to lie – she also stated that Jane and I had also “expected” her to lie. Later, I will show her e-mail which states Jane “expected” her to lie !
She says in her e-mail : “I wanted to say as little as possible whilst still telling the TRUTH”. This is most insidious form of lying – Lying By Omission.
All that had been expected all along by Jane and I was “The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”. Something she denied Jane and indeed the child, Ebony for her own selfish reasons. (She can take some solace in the fact that she was not alone in lying.)
I’ve never found the biblical reference but Jane has a saying :
“God doesn’t pay debts with money.”
... maybe not but whatever he’s been doing for us is ample reward - life couldn’t be better !
I prefer her other one :
“No need for revenge. Just sit back and wait. Those who hurt you will eventually screw up themselves and if you’re lucky, God will let you watch.”
... and, if they’re stupid enough, they share their trivial life experiences on social networking sites like Facebook - what a sad, empty and little world they have !
Jane Jameson (née Watts)
