“The quick pain of truth can pass away, but the slow eating agony of a lie is never lost.” — John Steinbeck
Steinbeck reminds us that honesty, even when painful, frees us quickly. Lies linger. They create a quiet, ongoing burden that affects our peace, our relationships, and even how we see ourselves. Truth may sting for a moment, but deception leaves a lasting wound.
