Quote by Kenneth L. Pike
The price that one pays for refusing to act on the truth as one sees it, is to be led to believe untruth to avoid guilt.
Summary
This quote suggests that failing to act in accordance with one's inner conviction or understanding of the truth results in the individual deceiving themselves. By ignoring or avoiding the truth and acting contrary to it, one may feel guilty and therefore resort to accepting falsehoods or untruths as a means of absolving that guilt. The quote highlights the consequences of denying one's own perception of truth and the potential erosion of personal integrity that comes with it.
