No legacy is so rich as honesty. -William Shakespeare An honest life is my goal. It is not always easy, usually because I'm afraid that if I'm honest then I will not be accepted. John Powell, a Jesuit, wrote a book that explores this theme: Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? Fear! I'm afraid that if I'm honest, then you will not love me. But if I'm not honest, if I hide in lies and secrets, can you really love me? No, because I'm not there.When I pretend, the real me becomes invisible. You cannot love what you do not know.Dishonesty keepsme anonymous. Hence we need honesty. It is the backdrop to our dance in God.I seek to live an honest life on a daily basis.
