Good food for thought :) When I was growing up, there used to be a popular joke about a child whose parents ask him to 'always tell the truth', and one time some relatives come over and the boy 'truthfully' tells them that his parents didn't like the gift they brought last time. Then the parents are angry with the child for being 'truthful'. These notions (e.g. "harsh truth" or "kadwa sach") come up because we see truth, love, and kindness differently, and often in opposition with other. I really like the line 'Truth is honoured, not betrayed' - really reflects what goes on when we see the big picture.

Very profound Drish :)

At Ei, we are told to practice this thing called Radical Candour (https://www.radicalcandor.com/), caring personally and challenging directly. This made me think of that.
