As long as the protagonists in a dialogue are sincere, the possibility of agreement can never be discounted, no matter how diametrically opposed the initial positions may have been. Indeed, choosing the way of truth entails a brutal kind of honesty. It is not enough to find the truth in the other. We must also find it in ourselves. This entails a sincere dedication to reality.
Psychologists are one in saying that mental health is essentially a devotion to reality.
The world is a hall of mirrors. Oftentimes, it offers us a distorted vision of ourselves. What we need therefore is a constant self-examination. We must always reflect on our realities, question our motives, and above all, submit our will to God. We must banish all illusions of ourselves.
