| Lying |
| When you have observed your mechanisms, you
will notice that you are usually very kind toward yourself (through
inner considering, justification, etc.) and quite harsh with
other people (or indifferent, which is no better). In our everyday
life, it is very difficult for us to stop lying. Every discussion,
every story or account we give of something (especially when
it concerns ourselves) may be tinged with lying - in our exaggerations,
half-truths, and so on. You are only obliged to express the
truth about other people when this is done in order to aid their
evolution, to help them to change. Each person is entitled to
the truth he is capable of understanding. The truth concerning
ourselves is the fundamental precondition for all possible evolution
on the Path. |
