Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of nurturing and maintaining friendships. By encouraging one to frequently visit the house of their friend, it suggests the need for active engagement and quality time spent together. The mentioning of "weeds choking the unused path" serves as a metaphor, highlighting that neglecting friendships can result in deterioration.

Start telling the truth now and never stop. Begin by telling

Start telling the truth now and never stop. Begin by telling the truth to yourself about yourself. Then tell the truth to yourself about someone else. Then tell the truth about yourself to another. Then tell the truth about another to that other. Finally, tell the truth to everyone about everything. These are the 5 levels of truth telling. This is the five-fold path to freedom.
