From the gospel according to Polonius?

If you must pry, the gospel according to alcoholics anonymous.

I was making an apparently weak attempt at humor. "To thine own self be true" is a line recited by the character Polonius in Shakespeare's Hamlet.

It is a good aphorism to spend time thinking about.

Yesterday in mass, the priest talked a while about prayer, about coming to God in truth, being truthful about who you are (particularly since God knows).

We spend a lot of mental time being untruthful to ourself about who we really are, I think.

To thine own self be true. It's harder than it sounds.
