Do you believe some truths are better left unsaid in order to protect relationships and prevent resentment or hatred from growing between people? If yes, do you think lasting peace can truly be achieved through silence or avoidance of the truth? And if you have personally experienced this working positively, please share your experience with us.

Yes. Sometimes what keeps a relationship going is the secrets that have not been let out of the bag. Our past sometimes should remain in the past, especially if they weren't events that could easily be swept under the carpet.

Humans demand the truth, but most people can't handle it. Either this truth remains a memory that haunts them or something they weaponize to take advantage over the other. I've seen marriages break because one decided to come up with a truth that never found ground to heal.

Nothing is assured. Hiding the truth may or may not assure lasting peace, especially if what is hidden haunts the bearer himself. But one thing is sure: as long as the bearer isn't burdened by it, peace can be achieved if the truth remains hidden.

The past can stir up wounds that never get healed.
