Amended
Every time my heart is broken by these lies...for a split second I think "Now I will revoke my the truth I give, and the compassion, and then I won't have to hurt anymore." But I instantly know that to do that would be cheating myself. Of the chance to find the virtuous. To find those "scant liars." Those that know when it's best not to lie. Those that are willing to give just as much of themselves as I am willing...Otherwise, I am dooming myself to rome the earth truely alone. And I'm strong enough to bear all the pain in between.
