Facing truth heals, lies only numb. Be brave, choose truth for lasting solutions
⊙ Quote of the Day: Truth & Lie
Truth is like a surgery.
It hurts and cures.
Lie is like a painkiller.
It gives instant relief but has side effects forever.
The phrase's origin is unclear, but it effectively uses a figure of speech to compare the nature of truth and lies and their consequences. It likens facing the truth to surgery – it can be painful and challenging, but ultimately leads to healing and resolution. Conversely, lies are portrayed as painkillers – they offer temporary relief, but can cause bigger problems and side effects down the road. The message is clear: telling the truth or accepting it, even if it stings at first, will eventually solve the problem and help improve the situation. On the other hand, resorting to lies may provide immediate comfort, but over time, it will snowball into bigger issues, ultimately harming you and those around you.
