The willingness to be open to reality at all costs is a virtue. I don’t know how we arrive at truth and then live that truth without it. We surrender to truth as the recipients, not the makers, of it.
.
Never, however, confuse humility with good manners. While good manners have their place, they can easily disguise arrogance and be entrenched in truth-denying traditions. And by “good manners” I mean talk and behaviors approved by a group. All groups have them. We are after truth and humility is a necessary disposition to find it.
