Simplicity, Goodness, and Truth

   Tolstoy: "There is no greatness where simplicity, goodness and 
   truth are absent."  Simplicity, Goodness and Truth.  Aren't 
   these three things the essence of spiritual health?  
   Aren't these the key to soundness in the soul of man?  They 
   stand opposed to sophistication, artificiality, pretense, 
   guile, deceit, lying, malice, bitterness, hatred, duplicity, 
   falseness, indecency, etc..  They lead to respect for oneself 
   and others.
