Truth

Have you ever felt the need to add emphasis to the validity of what you say? Courts require witnesses to swear an oath, but does this guarantee that they will tell the truth? In my word I tell you not to swear an oath, but merely answer yes or no, for whatever is added to that is evil. You can state the truth plainly and the truth will speak for itself. It doesn’t come in degrees and it has no need of affirmations or protestations. Whether it is accepted as valid or not depends on the reputation of the speaker. If your life is an expression of integrity and truth then people will accept what you say.
