PURE HONESTY

As we grow....

We encounter more parts of ourselves that may be hurtful.

We need to accept those parts too..

Not condemn ourselves for being human

Not hide our destructive impulses from ourselves

Then our honesty with ourselves..

and with others will not be tainted by dishonest motives..

THEREFORE, I PRAY FOR HONESTY WITH MYSELF FIRST...
SO MY HONESTY WITH OTHERS WILL BE PURE...

"Honesty" without compassion and understanding is not honest, but subtle hostility -- Rose N. Frarnzblau
