10. We're getting a taste of the worst of times

but what we should remember is how it has brought out the best in most of us. Trying times test our humanity, and the veils are lifted so we can see ourselves as we truly are. And we are seeing our opposites as they truly are, without the obscuring veneer of pretending to be decent in an attempt to shade our eyes from the truth.

It’s a good thing to know the truth. I don’t mean that it’s good in the sense of comfort. I mean that if you want to live a life of sincerity it’s good to know the truth, no matter how ugly it may be.

Thanks. The times are full of truth right now.
