Painful truth
Truth can be painful. And yet, attempting to avoid the truth
will always, ultimately, be much more painful.
Truth can be uncomfortable and unpopular. It can present
difficult and complex challenges.
Even so, a dedication to truth is always the best course.
For truth, no matter how earnestly it is suppressed, will
always have the final say.
Yes, truth can be painful. And the longer it is evaded the
more painful it becomes.
Truth can also be infinitely liberating. The effort and pain
and discomfort of facing the truth are all very much worth
the cost.
It is not always easy to be on the side of truth. Yet there
is no escaping the fact that it is always best.
