"My truth could be very different than your truth."

"Well, people are like that too. THey create a false door - to deceive. If they are conscious of weakness, of inefficiency, they make an imposing door of self-assertion, of bluster, of overwhelming authority - and, after a time, they get to believe in it themselves.

And so when reality comes and touches them with the feather of truth - their true self reasserts itself."
