Simplified Meaning:
People you don't like or who don't like you are often honest with you, even if it hurts. Friends and those who love you may not always tell the truth so they don't hurt your feelings. Imagine if you have a friend who made a bad decision. If they ask someone close to them, that person might lie and say it wasn't a big deal to make them feel better. But an enemy or someone who dislikes them might bluntly call it a mistake. This saying teaches us that sometimes the harshest truths can come from those who care the least, while those who care about us might tell white lies to protect us. It's important to balance understanding and realizing when the truth is necessary for growth, even if it sometimes comes from unexpected sources.
