Simplified Meaning:
Being honest is generally a good thing because it builds trust and makes relationships stronger. However, sometimes telling the truth can hurt someone's feelings or cause problems. For example, if a friend asks if you like their new haircut and you think it looks bad, saying so directly might upset them. Instead, you could be gentle with your words or find something nice to say, like "I like how it makes you look different." This way, you are still being honest without being hurtful. It's about finding the right balance between truth and kindness in what you say. Being aware of how your truth can affect others is crucial in maintaining good relationships.
