Speaking plain truth.

Never speak plain truth. Put some element of falsity in it to make it sound presentable and sexy. Remember words pass through ears to mind to heart. You must apply filters so that the real truth is not blocked in the way!

More plain truth I spoke , more troubles I invited. More diplomatic I was, easier my life was for sure.

Truth must be lubricated by some oil but must not be fabricated.
