" It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise. "

Everyone wants to know the veracity of a situation but they assume that it must be good. The truth is always bitter and comes with consequences that's why most people like to live their life in a lie.

Lying blinds us from reality and we start living in the paradise we always want. Even if we know the truth sometimes we convince ourselves by fabricating the truth. We must be strong enough to accept honesty and live an unhappy life for a while rather than being a fool for the entire life.
