To me, honesty is pretty much the stepping stone for the rest of the virtues. What's the point of pretending to be brave if you're cowardly at heart?

It's hard to mask my disgust of fake people, so honesty will get you far with me. :)<br /><Pam Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872183610393667619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138695505544479477.post-67892158979975695512011-01-20T04:32:38.824-05:002011-01-20T04:32:38.824-05:00Without hesitation, b) selflessness.
