"En gros, le langage est un outil pour dissimuler la vérité"
— George Carlin

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people use words to hide what they really mean or what is true. Just like a magician uses tricks to distract the audience, people use language to mislead others. For example, a politician might use complicated words to make false promises sound good, or a salesperson might stretch the truth about a product to make you want to buy it. In everyday life, someone might say "I'm fine" even if they're feeling really bad inside. We can learn to listen carefully and ask questions to find out what's really going on, instead of just believing everything we hear. By being aware of this, we can better understand the true intentions and feelings of others.
