Summary

This quote suggests that it can be more painful to discover the truth about someone we care for than to continue living in ignorance or being deceived by them. It implies that the act of being "undeceived," or having our illusions shattered, can lead to greater unhappiness and disappointment. This may be because we have invested time, trust, and emotions into our relationship, making it difficult to accept the reality that conflicts with our idealized perception of the person we love.
