• ¿Cómo puede alguien esperar ser comprendido si no expone sus pensamientos con total honestidad? Esta situación es injusta porque pide demasiado al mundo. En efecto, decimos: "No me atrevo a mostrarte lo que soy porque no confío en ti ni un minuto, pero por favor, quiéreme de todos modos porque lo necesito". Y, por supuesto, si no me amas de todos modos, eres un perro sucio, tal como sospechaba, así que tenía razón desde el principio'. Sin embargo, cada vez que los hijos de Dios han desechado el miedo en pos de la honestidad -tratando de comunicarse a sí mismos, comprendidos o no-, han ocurrido milagros.
