A remark generally hurts in proportion to its truth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've said a lot of stuff in the past, but not with any intentions to hurt anybody. It's all a bit tongue-in-cheek.
Most remarks that are worth making are commonplace remarks. The things that makes them worth saying is that we really mean them.
Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
It is sometimes well for a blatant error to draw attention to overmodest truths.
Occasionally, Donald Trump says something that is politically incorrect but which also happens to be true.
A blunt statement can be as false as any other.
Truth indeed rather alleviates than hurts, and will always bear up against falsehood, as oil does above water.
It's terribly important that you can criticise people's ideas without criticising them, and if they burst into tears, it means that you tend to hold back from getting at the absolute truth.
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.
The truth doesn't hurt unless it ought to.
