    There are two popular sayings in English: Truth is bitter; Ignorance is bliss. Which one will you choose? You have to decide whether you want ignorance or Truth. If you want to follow the Truth, your friends and family members will most probably turn against you. But if you want to remain in ignorance, you will have the whole world with you. If you want to go for the Truth, then don’t hope for big company. You have to walk alone. You should be prepared to walk alone for the Truth.
