Perhaps few of us

Perhaps few of us hear the honest truth about ourselves

Perhaps few of us hear the honest truth about ourselves , until someone grows angry with us and blurts it out in bitter words.

It may be an enemy who says the ugly thing about us; or it may be someone who is base and unworthy of respect.

But, whoever it may be — we would better ask whether there may not be some truth in the criticism; and if there is, then set ourselves to get rid of our fault.

In whatever way we are made aware of a fault, we ought to be grateful for the fact, for the discovery gives us an opportunity to rise to a holier, nobler life or to a higher and finer achievement.
