Hosseini Quote: Better Hurt by Truth Than Comforted by Lie

Khaled Hosseini wrote a book called The Kite Runner.

In the book, a boy named Amir says it is better to be hurt by the truth than comforted by a lie.

That means hearing something true, even if it makes you sad, is better than being told something fake that makes you feel good.

A lie can make you feel safe for a little while, but when you find out it is a lie, it hurts even more.

The truth helps you understand what is really happening so you can grow and heal.

The article says this idea matters a lot today.

Social media shows us things that agree with what we already think, which can be like a comfortable lie.

Fake videos and pictures made by computers can also trick us.

Sometimes people pretend everything is fine when they are sad, but it is better to talk about real feelings.

Being honest, even when it is hard, helps us trust each other and live in the real world.
