"کمی حقیقت بگو و مردم دیوانه میشوند"
— Ice Cube
Simplified Meaning:
When you tell people just a small part of the truth, they can get very surprised or upset because it might be something they are not used to hearing. Imagine if you told your friend that you don't like the way they talk behind others' backs. They might get really offended or start acting strangely around you because they didn't expect you to be so honest. In history, whistleblowers like Edward Snowden revealed some truths about government surveillance. His revelations caused a lot of shock and anger because people were not aware of the extent of the surveillance. This quote suggests that people often prefer comforting lies and only a little bit of honesty can shake them up. If you want to use this advice, be prepared for strong reactions when you decide to be straightforward with people.
