"Le confort n'est pas un test de vérité. La vérité est souvent loin d'être confortable."
— Swami Vivekananda

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, the truth can make us feel uneasy, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. For example, imagine you have a friend who always tells you nice things, even if they are not true, just to make you feel good. Then you have another friend who tells you the honest truth, even if it is hard to hear. The first friend makes you feel comfortable, but you can't really trust what they say. The second friend, although sometimes uncomfortable to listen to, helps you see things as they really are. Understanding the truth, even when it’s hard, helps us grow and make better decisions in life. So, when faced with the choice, it’s better to know the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable, because it is more valuable in the long run.
