Truth can be difficult to listen to, but truth is truth however harsh the reality of it. Truth is not mean or malicious. If truth stings, it's a time to reflect, dig, understand, and discern. Make corrections where needed, but not excuses.
Mean is not truth. A certain person comes to mind that I've had the displeasure of interacting. He touts himself as a truth teller and "calling it like it is", but the reality is he's just mean. The majority of what he spews, he does to justify himself and his life choices. The word "jackass" usually leaps to mind when listening to him talk of others. Truth can be harsh, but it is never mean. The folks who legitimately speak truth are typically not cruel in their delivery or intention for if they are they are not speaking entirely truthfully. Truth also never comes in the form of gossip. Gossip is another version and usually intertwined with the mean. Malicious intent (whether from insecurity or manipulation) indicates motive of another kind.
