*What is true is already so.*\
\&#xNAN;*Owning up to it doesn't make it worse.*\
\&#xNAN;*Not being open about it doesn't make it go away.*\
\&#xNAN;*And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with.*\
\&#xNAN;*Anything untrue isn't there to be lived.*\
\&#xNAN;*People can stand what is true,*\
\&#xNAN;*for they are already enduring it.*
