Simplified meaning
Sometimes, people don’t always share everything they think or know. They might only say part of the truth because they are afraid of what might happen if they share too much. Imagine you know a friend made a mistake, but telling them fully might hurt their feelings. So, you tell them gently, just enough to help them understand, but not so much that it upsets them badly. This shows that while honesty is important, sometimes holding back a bit is necessary to keep the peace or avoid trouble. People can use this idea to communicate carefully, balancing truth with kindness and consideration for others' feelings.
