Koohii stories:

1) [CountPacula] 25-4-2008(213): Sincerity happens when what you say actually turns into something.

2) [gwadonna] 3-9-2008(93): Sincerity is turning your words into actions.

3) [Thunderball] 30-9-2007(15): Words turning into actions is a sign of true sincerity . You do what you say (せい) you will. Marco and (まこと) his Brazilian friends need to learn this - they say they won't smoke pot inside anymore, but still do it – that's not being very sincere.

4) [mdspencer] 5-12-2010(14): When your words turn into something of true meaning, that is sincerity. [Not sure why this was reported twice… 'words' is perfectly OK here….].

5) [zardoz73] 7-8-2008(10): Socrates said " If said with sincerity, words can turn in to anything". Very similar to "castle", #362.
