@rok-sivante, Yes, truth is painful for sure, and by that i mean, sometimes we like to stay in our own illusions because that's the beauty of comfort zone and truth can shake our land.
No matter for how much time people live in the Illusion but for sure truth will going to enter in our life and will going to showcase the truth and will going to sound the waking up call.
Yes, most of the time we hold just thought process and positive intentions but for sure our fear stop us from doing effective things in life and that is because fear just hold the Stagnancy.
When we understand and purse the Honesty then for sure all aches will going to run away from us because Honesty is crystal clear aspect and it will advice us all the time about the true wisdom and true reality.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
