When applied on a personal level, the truth is only what we allow to be true.
When we are dealing with what others say about us, then the truth only hurts because of what we allow to be true of us. In essence, it only hurts because we let it. When our words, actions, thoughts, and the way we interact with others are not the way that they should be, then what we allow to be true can hurt. However, if we choose to live a different way, then other things become true, and those things don't hurt. Instead, they are praiseworthy, good, wholesome, and beneficial. What will you let be true of you today?
