"كلما انحرفت المجتمعات عن الحقيقة زاد كرهها لمن يتحدثون بها"

Simplified Meaning:

When a group of people or a society moves away from believing and saying what is true, they start to dislike and reject those who still tell the truth. Imagine a group of friends who all agree to tell little lies to each other to keep everyone happy. If one friend decides to be honest and point out some problems, the others might get angry because the truth makes them uncomfortable. This happens because the lies have become more convenient or pleasant, even if they are not right. If you always strive to be honest and share the facts, some people might not like it because it challenges their comfortable illusions. However, speaking the truth is important, and while it may cause friction, it leads to genuine understanding and positive change. So, even if you face resistance, staying true to what is right is more valuable and will be appreciated by those who value honesty.
