Giving half answers won't make the conversation half as long

Summary

This quote signifies that providing incomplete or evasive answers to a conversation does not necessarily shorten its duration. In fact, it may even prolong the discussion. It suggests that open and honest communication is more effective than giving only partial information. By openly addressing issues and fully answering questions, we create a more productive and efficient dialogue. Ultimately, avoiding half-truths and actively engaging in meaningful conversations can lead to better understanding and resolution.
