Transparency is the process of living life in the open, no secrets. It’s a challenging path, but a liberating one. We can be ourselves without being on guard about what this person or that might find out about us.

I don't know if it's possible to reach. We may be able to become truthful with others, but can we be truthful to ourselves? There's always something we're blind to, like how our new pants fit in the back, or spinach stuck to a front tooth. It’s helpful to have a friend or a mirror we can trust.
