The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret. [Fred. Free.]

Summary

This quote is a playful twist on the popular saying "The truth shall set you free." However, instead of emphasizing the idea that truth brings freedom, it adds a lighthearted twist by suggesting that the truth can actually make one fret or worry. The quote implies that facing the truth can sometimes be challenging or uncomfortable, causing uneasiness in individuals. It serves as a reminder that being honest and acknowledging the truth might require facing difficult realities, but ultimately, it is essential for personal growth and understanding.
