Truth is painful.

Plato’s image of the cave – the light is painful, it blinds. Until the eyes adjust.

Truth sets us free – but freedom itself is fearful.

The command repeated most often in the Bible: do not be afraid.

The way is narrow that leads to life.

The good surgeon cuts in order to heal, not in order to demonstrate prowess with a knife.

O Lord, prosper the work of my hands.
