There is an old story from the Eastern tradition that says that when the gods created the universe, they found a place for everything but the truth, and this created a problem, because the gods did not want this wisdom discovered right away. One of the gods suggested the top of the highest mountain, another the farthest star, a third spoke up for the dark side of the moon, and another for the bottom of the deepest ocean. Finally, they decide to place truth inside the human heart. In that way, we would search for it all over the universe, with the secret within us all the time. . Stephen Kendrick
About This Quote

The moral of the story is found in the last line. The gods placed truth inside the human heart to make it easy for us to find it. However, that’s not how things are. We are all very good at hiding the truth from ourselves. We lie to ourselves all day long about our shortcomings, mistakes, and even our successes.
