“Men
who seek money and fame, and well being and security do not speak hard
words to other men. No, they tell them about their best life now and how
they can have all the self esteem and prosperity and everything their
carnal hearts wants in this life. They flatter men, because they do not
love men. They care about themselves, they are dressed up like sheep but
inwardly, they are ravenous wolves. All they want to do is feed off
people and the best way to feed off people, the Bible tells us, is to
tickle their ears [...] An old man once told me,
‘son, your best friend, is the one who tells you the most truth and
tells you as directly and clearly as possible.’ What advantage do I have
here today by making you angry? What advantage do I have here today
speaking hard words?”
