"言いたいことがあるとき、沈黙は嘘だ"
— Jordan Peterson
Simplified Meaning:
If you know something important or have the truth, keeping quiet about it is the same as lying. Imagine you see someone at work doing something wrong, like stealing small items from the office. If you choose not to report that action or talk to your boss about it, you're not being honest because your silence hides the truth. Similarly, if you have a great idea or solution in a meeting but choose not to speak up, the team misses out on a potential improvement because you held back. By sharing what you know or feel, you stay truthful and help others see the full picture. In life, speaking up when it's needed can prevent misunderstandings, solve problems, and build trust among people. So, if you have valuable information or feelings, it's better to express them instead of staying silent.
