One of the Coca-Cola Company's headquarters buildings in Atlanta from Wikipedia...
The Internet is full of information, and one place to get a very interesting "story behind the story" look at events is a place called "Brasscheck TV" at www.brasschecktv.com. Brasscheck recently posted a video about how farmers in India are using Coke - the soft drink - to spray their fields for insects. In fact, the bottled Coke seems to have insecticides in its chemical makeup. Watch the short video at www.brasschecktv.com/page/495.html.
What I find so thought provoking is that a corporation would sell this drink, loaded with chemicals, to the public, and seem to do so in good conscience. In Munay-ki, two of the vows are:
- truthfulness (truthful means honest and not containing or telling any lies - from the Cambridge dictionary at dictionary.cambridge.org)
- integrity (the quality of being honest and having strong moral (I like the word "ethical" better than the word moral) principles that you refuse to change - from the Cambridge dictionary at dictionary.cambridge.org)
Given the stories that are told about corporate lack of integrity and individual lack of integrity, it seems that the vows are necessary to point apprentices back to the true path. It seems that there are so many people and corporations lacking integrity, that one lacks good role models to see how integrity is carried out.
Integrity simply means, "Walk your talk!"
