Honest with yourself: admitting you were wrong, sentence 4
Honest self-knowledge goes both ways: don't think you're better than you are, and don't put yourself down either; the prodigal son "came to his senses", and that was the start of his way home.
Who acts: Honest self knowledge, you, prodigal son, that, son · What happens: go, not think, be, not put down, come, sense · To what, where: ways, yourself, senses, start · Speech: someone speaks here
