"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to distract himself...gives way to passions and coarse pleasures." Dostoyevsky, The Brother's Karamazov
This quote reminds us where lies lead – isolation and debauchery. However, through honesty and humility we can be on the course God has for us and find the joy and intimacy we were created for.
