उत्तर
The road that leads to my college
Every day I tread with the bag of books,
Thereby I plod the long scalding path,
To be taught by someone, and to be that someone someday.
Not easy are my steps, mired as they are in toil,
But undaunted I go, for fruits of labour aren’t easy to come by.

It is tempting to think that the world would become a better place without the deceptions that seem to interfere with our attempts are genuine communication. On the other hand, perhaps there is such a thing as too much honesty. - Adapted from Allison Kornet, "The Truth About Lying"
