Adrian AlconeraThe truth can set us free but can hurt us sometimes...
About This Quote
The truth is an important aspect of life. The truth is the only thing we can rely on and the only thing we can trust. We can't really hide from the truth or ignore it. We can't put off dealing with the truth and we can't wait until we're ready to see and hear it.
It's always available whether we want it to be or not. The truth is never out of reach, but that doesn't mean that we have to like it or want it. "The truth can set us free but can hurt us sometimes" means that our freedom isn't guaranteed-it's always at risk.
If we don't know what's true, if we're uncertain about things, if we're biased, what happens? Well, first of all, our decisions about what to believe might be wrong. But even if they turn out right, they might still come at a high cost. We might make a mistake and hurt someone without realising it.
That's why you should always be testing your beliefs against the evidence because you can end up hurting yourself as well as someone else.
