Anyway, who would want to "conceal the truth at all costs"?!...
You would have to read the
Wave series to answer that for yourself.

Djewlew. I have followed your posts and think I may have some insight for you.

Hi, Ana. Beautiful name; reminds me of a beautiful lady I knew many years ago [she passed away in terrible pain... ]
I have seen a lot of anger in your posts. Here you show for the first time the tip of an iceberg of pain perhaps? You are literally so full of emotion that I can almost taste the bitterness in your posts. How many years have you had this pain and kept it bottled inside you?? 30, 40, 50 years?
The reason I bring this up is because you cannot know why truth requires suffering when you are so full of trapped and unexpressed emotions.
There is no room in your internal world for anything but your own pain and suffering.
Without finally letting go of it all, you will never be able to know '
why would it take suffering to look for the truth?'.
Have you considered seeing a councillor to help you process all your unresolved emotions??
We have a
Breathing and Meditation program here that is freely available for anyone to download and listen too, that is very effective at helping release bottled emotions.

Can you put yourself in anothers shoes? Can you think of others without thinking of yourself?
Can you know what it is like to live as a child knowing nothing but starvation and disease? Can you appreciate a sunset?
Can you know what it is like to live with abuse and have your soul crushed? Can you appreciate the beauty in music?
Can you know what it is like to witness as a child soldiers raping and killing your mother and sisters and fleeing for your life through fire? Can you appreciate the joy in creating a meal for yourself and loved ones?
Can you know what it is like to be old and alone and socially isolated, and sleeping on the street in freezing conditions with no shelter? Can you appreciate the beauty of growing your own flowers?
Can you experience both through the eyes of another?
Not everyone wants to/is ready to move on from there past.....some people ware there pain like a badge of honour. Here however, in this forum, we strive to move forward with kindness and wisdom, and support each other through the horror and beauty of it all. Eventually letting go of our past barriers, shields and 'badges of honour' around such pain/sadness/anger/grief, experiencing the emotions and letting it go is the only way to move forwards.
Rather than read or post anything else, I would suggest you seriously consider that perhaps it is time for you to stop waring your pain like a badge of honour, and heal yourself so you don't have to suffer that way any more.
If this is what you want, we can probably point you in the right direction and offer support.
If it is not, I kindly suggest that you leave your pain at the door.
