“There is beauty in telling the truth, even if it’s painful. Those who lie, twist life so that it looks tasty to the lazy, brilliant to the ignorant, and powerful to the weak. But lies only strengthen our defects. They don’t teach anything, help anything, fix anything or cure anything. Nor do they develop one’s character, one’s mind, one’s heart or one’s soul.”

What lead to a parting of paths in one place lead to a new, sweeter forging of paths elsewhere. You know how it is. Sometimes we plan a trip to one place, but something takes us to another.
