Because even if the lie is beautiful, the truth is what you face in the end.

About This Quote

The idea that a lie is a beautiful thing but the truth is what you face in the end is a notion that can be quite frustrating. The truth is rarely beautiful, and it’s certainly not always pleasant. If we believe that, we live in delusion. We live as if the world were an oasis of peace and happiness.

The truth is that we face pain and suffering. We face our fears and weakness every day. Our lives are not filled with pleasure and joy but with hard work and struggle.

We must face this reality if we want to live true to ourselves and overcome all of life’s challenges.
