“The highest compact we can make with our fellow is - "Let there be truth between us two forevermore." ”

Individuals can dislike one another, can have differing experiences and mental perceptions while the highest compact between fellows remains truth.

At my age, I have a handful of people I call friends and I'm grateful for them. The rest were eliminated over time because eventually their dishonesty came through. I know who's got my 6. ;-)

Carlton, I'm not quite sure who to attribute this to but a friend of mine says; "I'm grateful for the friends I have and the enemies I've made." (-; I resemble that remark ;-)

I honor anyone who endeavors to be truthful, not just with others but especially with themselves. That is a person worthy of respect no matter what conclusions they may have come to. We all have a lot to learn. ;-)

I've heard that too Mike. I can relate.
