of course they can be; that doesn’t mean you have to allow it to affect you negatively, sometimes we even mistake harsh truths for someone being “mean”
we are only human, introspection with the goal of becoming better then you were yesterday is the key to unlocking the citadel in your mind

Agreed.
But also, truth is subjective. I’d rather be told the harshest truth than the sweetest lie. If those mean words come from a loved one, that negative energy is contagious, and it spreads. It can also destroy a person.
truth is not subjective, it’s binary.
the concept of “mean words” is subjective.
being told a harsh truth is only a negative act if you make the choice to see it as one.
“The mind, unconquered by violent passions, is a citadel, for a man has no fortress more impregnable in which to find refuge and remain safe forever.”
- Marcus Aurelius
Our thoughts transcend reality. If you believe the earth is flat then the truth is that earth is flat. Regardless of factual truth. If you believe in a god in heaven makes that the truth regardless of if it actually is…
i’m sorry but that’s completely false; what you’re talking about is your *perception* of the truth, believing otherwise is asinine and leads to the chaos we’re seeing today.
there are binary laws to this matrix, our understanding of them is the only real question and humanities greatest endeavour.
It is far far from binary.
