There are times when the only truth you can believe is one that flies in the face of what a person wants.

It certainly wouldn't be the self-serving statements that he's made in the past (even if they are true (or if he believes them to be true), they are still self-serving).

And I realized that, in a sense, deciding that I wasn't ready to go through my dedication ceremony was the only 'trusted wisdom' that existed here.
