The Cost of Truth
traditional wisdom
Truth-telling frequently costs something in the moment—comfort, approval, or the easier path. The alternative is a life built on small evasions that eventually require more energy to maintain than the truth would have cost. Integrity is not free. It is still cheaper than the long-term price of deceit.
