Can get you slapped. Just ask Jesus. Especially towards the end of his life, telling the truth to those putting him on trial only served to seal his fate..
However, getting yourself into trouble is not necessarily a stamp of approval on the “truth” you spoke. Riling someone up doesn’t mean you were right. We can be easily misled into thinking of ourselves as martyrs when really we should have been mimes—silent.
Which, let’s not forget, also got Jesus in trouble.
It takes great wisdom to know when to speak and when to be silent. Sometimes the truth needs to be spoken. Sometimes the truth needs to stay silent.
