IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH

 IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH, YOU LET THE WORLD REMAKE YOU.

At first glance, it’s a conditional statement — but it’s deeply philosophical. It ties truth, the world, and the self into one transformative process.

1. 

“If you tell the truth…”

Telling the truth means more than not lying — it’s a moral and existential act.

It requires you to:

• Face reality instead of protecting your ego with comforting illusions.
• Expose your vulnerabilities, since truth often reveals flaws, fears, or limits.
• Take responsibility, because truth demands alignment between what is and what you say or do.

It’s a courageous act — truth destabilizes comfort but anchors authenticity.

2. 

”…you let the world…”

The word “let” is crucial here. It implies surrender or permission.

You’re not forcing change — you’re allowing the world (reality, existence, other people, consequences) to affect you.

It’s the opposite of control.

When you tell the truth, you stop trying to twist reality to fit your wishes.

You open yourself to what is, not what you want.

3. 

”…remake you.”

To be “remade” means transformation — a death of one form of self and the birth of another.

By aligning yourself with truth, the false parts of you must die:

• The lies you tell yourself.
• The stories you hide behind.
• The illusions of safety or superiority.

What remains is a self forged in reality — more resilient, more integrated, more real.
