Without Truth, There is No Growth

Truth

In one way only is truth an absolute: Without it, there can be no growth.

Truth is to inner space what sunshine is to a garden. In its absence, fear flourishes
and imagination runs riot, conjuring up pursuing monsters where there are only paper dragons. . .Only when we open our minds and hearts to the truth can we expose our paper dragons for what they are -- a child's forgotten toys.

Thought to Ponder . . .

I cannot mend if I bend the truth.
