     There  are  some  things  about  which  it  is   more
difficult  to  be honest than about other  things;   e.g.,
things pointed to by the words in the title of this essay.

     It  is  difficult to be honest about  anything  which
does  or  seems  to us to  threaten  our  integrity,   our
pretense of integrity.   The threat may exist only in  our
thought processes when we are full of fear,  or may entail
collusive  games of mutual self deception among a  few  or
many people.

     We   can  be  honest  about  objects  and   objective
relationships of things far from us;   from which we  have
detached  ourselves in reality and in concern.   The  more
out  of touch we are with some thing,  the more easy it is
to be  honest about it;    even if not well informed about
it. If  we are not closely related to some thing by virtue
of  detachment,    we  may convince  ourselves  that  what
happens to it or what it does, is a matter of indifference
to  us.    The ignorance of detachment  often  facilitates
bliss!
