Only God can fully know what absolute honesty is. Therefore each of us has to conceive what this great ideal may be — to the best of our ability. ~ Bill W.
Perfection comes naturally for us...
at least trying for perfection.
If I can't do it perfectly, never mind.
Why try? Or I obsess about it,
put my whole self into it, explaining,
justifying, excusing my failure to attain
by your inability to do your part,
by the world being against me,
by something beyond my control.
I may not know what absolute honesty is
but I darned sure know what it is not.
If I avoid what I know I should avoid,
if I admit my failure but don't use it as excuses,
if I do to the best of my ability,
that's absolute honesty perfected
as far as I can get it...for today.
