most important thing to me
It never hurts anyone
Though it's been scapegoated just the same
The conflicts we have
Are in our own brains
The truth never hurts
Because Truth is Love
Love is Truth, Bert,
Like Peace is Dove.

Re: most important thing to me
I'm honest to a fault.
My most vile sin, my most
despicable trait.
But without honesty,
honestly, how would we
follow our fate?
How would we know what is real or a show?
I cannot cease or even temporarily halt
this inability to lie. Believe me I have tried.
Sometimes a little white lie, they say
is better since it saves the day and keeps
others from being unduly insulted or hurt.
But I have been known, unfortunately,
to be direct and sometimes curt.
A habit like this is hard to break,
but I work very hard to be kind.
Believe me when I tell you there
are battles in my mind.
"Would you let me know if my zipper was down?
Would you let me know if I'm acting a clown?"
I've been asked these questions before.
My answer has always been "Sure."
Honesty in friendship and love is certainly the optimal way
And yet, I fret, and wring my hands not knowing
what to say. Since sometimes, honestly, I'm afraid
my perception may be askew.
But whatever I say I mean at the time,
no matter how altered or damaged my mind,
it's certainly open to speaking the truth.
I'm honest like a child.
Open to all wild and crazy possibility.
And always, I hope, others I know
will be true to their maximum ability.
