| BkIII:21.III.4 | To be honest with yourself is to recognize everything that arises within you and to accept it. Do not put strange or different names to what you know perfectly well. It is also living sensibly—simply recognizing that pain is pain, joy is joy, love is love. In this recognition of what is, you will recognize, in honesty, that there is a time for everything. There is a time to be born and a time to die. A time to laugh and a time to cry. This essential truth will lead you to accept truth as what it is: simply the truth. |
