Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people tell the truth in a joking way. When someone makes a joke, there is often a hidden truth in what they say. For example, if a friend jokingly says, "You never call me," they might really be feeling like you don't stay in touch enough. Even though they said it in a light-hearted way, their feelings are genuine. It's important to listen to these jokes because they can reveal real thoughts and feelings that might not be expressed directly. Paying attention to such jokes can help you understand people better and improve your relationships.
