Honesty

The key thing for any problem, with the group or with an individual, is honesty. There’s no need to scheme. Be open with everybody involved, and have some trust in them. It works, and it’s worth it.

I don’t know what to make of all this honesty. I think it’s a bad idea all the way round. Why don’t we go back in the other room and try to manipulate each other the way real people do?
