Buddhist Story: Truth and Falsehood. Falsehood advised Truth, "Brother, why don't you learn to speak more diplomatically? Don't you see that some people don't seem to like you very much?" Truth replied bluntly, "Yes! Sometimes my words are indeed not as pleasing as yours, but no matter what, I am always longer-lived than you!" Words of Wisdom: Truth may not be pleasant to the ears, but it often strikes straight to the core of the problem. With the guidance of truth, the enzyme of reflection can grow within you, making your character even better.
