If one is painstakingly honest towards oneself, one thereby also becomes
meticulously honest towards others. If one on the contrary deceives oneself,
believing own lies, one automatically also deceives others, thus betraying them.
Honesty, however, always makes you quite worthy of respect...
Therefore: Be brutally honest to yourself!

Make an island of yourself, be your own light, and illumination,
make yourself your only safe haven; there is no other protection.
Make the Truth of Dhamma your only island, make Truth your sole refuge;
Make the Truth of Dhamma your only lamp; there is no other luminosity...
Digha Nikāya, 16
