True worship can happen only when individuals and societies are ready to come face to face with their own truth. Only truth can give us true humility, and truth alone gives us the needed courage for true contrition. If, thus we have received, forgiveness is that courage one can offer to the other for coming in face to face with truth. The focus is not on the offence. but on justice that build mutually.
When truth evades, trust is given to the temple, sacrifices, the king, priests, the prophets, and princes. Devoid of truth, they become instruments of injustice. These prideful greatness themselves became causes of shame. These must be radiant with the truth of the society and of the offeror, and the truth of God.
A humble, true, contrite, forgiving heart worships truly. Other worships insults God though they verbally and ritually praise God.
