It is honorable for a man to admit his fears, resistance, and edge of
practice. It is simply true that each man has his limit, his capacity
for growth, and his destiny.
But it is dishonorable for him to lie to himself or others about his
real place. He shouldn't pretend he is more enlightened than he is — nor
should he stop short of his actual edge.
The more a man is playing his real edge, the more valuable he is as good
company for other men, the more he can be trusted to be authentic and
fully present. Where a man's edge is located is less important than
whether he is actually living his edge in truth, rather than being lazy
or deluded.
