Editors' note: To work towards self-perfection, one must at all times be sincere. This positive quality allows one to be honest, impartial and truthful to oneself and to others. Inner sincerity helps break down the buffers that separate us from our conscience and builds strength of conviction. Unfortunately sincerity is a quality that is almost lost to modern man living in an environment riddled with the deceptions and distortions created by advertisers, politicians and state agencies.
