About This Quote
The next time you hear someone say “The truth will set you free,” or “The truth will always set you free,” take a moment to consider the accuracy of that statement. It seems like a nice sentiment, but it may not stand up to scrutiny. What if this person is lying? What if they are using the truth as a cover for their own agendas? The very nature of the word “truth” makes it powerful. If it is used with malicious intent, it becomes destructive.
