The Line
Truthfulness toward the disintegrating is dangerous.
Interpretation
Even to the best person dangerous elements draw near. If one gets involved with them, their disintegrating influence works quite slowly but surely and inevitably brings its dangers behind it. Whoever, however, recognizes the situation and knows how to see through the danger, knows how to guard oneself and remains free of harm.
