Without sincerity, there is no friendship

Falseness breaks what is deepest in a relationship. When you always hide what you think, manipulate, or say one thing to someone's face and another behind their back, trust weakens. Friendship demands truth, but a truth spoken with charity. Being sincere is not hurting; it is loving the other enough not to live from a lie. Deep relationships are built on repeated details: listening, sincerity, patience, and the ability to ask for forgiveness. Everyday life ultimately reveals the quality of love.
