It's sad how we, people, struggle to accept honesty and authenticity even today. I've recently encountered a problem, where I wish to solve with honesty, but am advised against, bc the other person is too emotionally sensitive and has a track record of being verbally abusive if they are crossed in any way. Which made me think of this comment. If I could be honest like the prince, and the other person openminded to at least accept that we are different and thats allowed, then this issue would be solved. But people are complicated creatures with feelings that cant be treated only with reason.
