Character integrity, tone.
We must always beware of hypocrisy, not only to others but to ourselves. Are we lying while we think? Do we tell ourselves stories to soothe the soul but that are patently not true? We thought this is valid, because it was very prevalent in our childhoods. It helped our parents deal with what they couldn't understand in a child or solve in the challenge we face as humanity: remembering that we are humans.
If we have grown from this, we have matured into being able to tell ourselves things as they are, without needing to lie or mask the truth. From here we might have thought that doing the same to others would work the same way, and it can, but then we must realize that they haven't gone through the same process. Here we develop the integrity to be able to speak with the proper tone that allows for explaining, and we must do the effort to eloquently elaborate, so that we don't repeat the same vice of lying that rots humanity out of its balance.
Our fiery spirits that understand truth meet water, that teaches us to flow, to channel our energy through other means. In this initial encounter, the tone we are coming from must be almost but not completely put out, and a refreshing one must be found. Then, air comes as the mind that finds the way to express the fire and aliven it correctly, earth being the final destination of this ordeal, where we seek to nurture, feed. To fertilize, certain death needs to occur. Finally, we must attend the gathering, for healing to happen.
