The saying, “The truth hurts,” is familiar to almost everyone.   But how many people realize that we should welcome having our eyes opened.  Pain can open the body and mind to what we have been unwilling or unable to see.  Prejudice dies, knowledge grows, wounds are healed, danger is averted.  Living with the truth leads us to a greater understanding of ourselves and others.
