The best proof of love is trust.
Trust can only be built on honesty. If one lies to another to prove one's point, there's no point at all.
One lies almost always 'coz one's being intimidated. Goes back to,
"For what is a man, what has he got,
if not himself, then he has not,
to say the things he truly feels,
and not the words of one who kneels, ..."
- from the song "My Way". Written by Paul Anka. Sang by Frank Sinatra.
"Say it loud,
Say it clear,
You can listen as well as you hear.
It's too late,
When we die,
To admit we don't see eye to eye."
- from the song 'The Living Years' by Robertson/Rutherford
