The Truth is simple when it’s something practised from the start.
When every party lays all their cards on the table from the beginning.
The burden of lies and secrecy becomes heavier with time, with each passing interaction becoming an auger that keeps digging holes deeper than the last.
The problem with the truth from the start is that it could kill something prematurely or build it.
But lies and secrecy will surely kill any and all connections.
