Half-truths chop reality into fractions and divide people into hostile factions. When people won’t humbly meet around truth, they arrogantly fight over error. Character will humbly embrace truth with grace, not replace it to save face.

If you’re trying to please people, you’re playing to an imaginary audience. They’re mostly ignoring you.
