True and Bitter, or False and Sweet?

Q: When I read Inner Reflection, I wanted to enjoy myself, but instead I began to feel desperation and a guilty conscience. Why?

A: The heart can either feel pleasure or pain. The brain analyzes true or false, and you are the one who must choose which is more important: the truth (however bitter), or falsehood and sweetness. That choice is in everything you do, and it is a factor in the process of your correction, your inner change.
