We have little hope of attaining honesty unless we realize how demanding it is. It demands sacrifice of self-will, self-image, the desire to win, and the comfort of being right.The 'honesty often praised today is usually only emotional honesty with others, not intellectual honesty with one's self; only 'letting it all hang out, not asking what is the real truth. Sometimes 'honesty is only a code word for shamelessness. Rarely does it mean the absolute, fanatical, selfless love of truth."
