I understand.

I understand I must love myself before I can love others.

I understand I must be open so I can open others unto themselves.

I understand I must be honest if I expect that of my friends.

I understand I must speak truth if I am to hear the truth spoken.

I understand that I must reach out to people if I am to be touched.

I understand I must share If I am to be given.

I understand my knowledge must be used if I am to grow.

I understand you must have freedom if I am to be free.

(Walter Rinder)
