Why is it
that truth is often told to deceive?
Truth is often incomplete
and rarely knowledge that is pure?

Honesty springs from wisdom and from innocence

Honesty spreads knowledge
that can care

Honesty brings trust to human life

Honesty is taught by the Mother
Honesty is demanded by the Father
Honesty keeps me on the path to Truth
