“As a child I was taught that to tell the truth was often painful. As an adult I have learned that not to tell the truth is more painful, and that the fear of telling the truth — whatever the truth may be — that fear is the most painful sensation of a moral life.” – June Jordan, writer, teacher, and activist (9 Jul 1936-2002)

While I disagree with many of the aims and goals and thoughts of Ms. Jordan, there are others such as the one stated above to which I passionately agree with whole-heartedly. Pursuit of truth is the most moral of all goals in life.
