A disciple asked his master: ‘Sir, what is the most important human quality?’
The master answered: ‘Sincerity.’
The disciple asked: ‘Sir, what does it mean to be sincere?’
The master answered: ‘To be sincere is to plunge down the well of the self and never hit bottom.’
From the writings of Po Ma, an imaginary 5th-century Chinese sage.

Very thoughtful! I especially like the “never hit bottom” part.
