“Only the wise can see through obvious appearances.
The foolish fall for appearances… and become easy victims.” – Fuve

Truth is not always gentle.
It can gut illusions and unravel carefully stitched identities.
It doesn’t ask for permission. It reveals—brutally, beautifully, completely.

Most flee from truth not because they cannot see it,
but because they sense its power to rearrange everything they believe.

The human need for comfort—pride, righteousness, tribal belonging—
makes us susceptible to the easiest lie: the one that tells us we’re already right.

But truth doesn’t flatter. It frees.

To embrace truth is to walk into the fire willingly,
knowing that falsehood is a colder, slower death.
Avoiding the truth only ensures you suffer it unconsciously.

Sometimes, being right isn’t satisfying—it’s heartbreaking.
Teaching truth, especially in the arts of emotional, physical, and spiritual self-defense,
is often lonely, thankless, and heavy.
But the burden of awareness is far lighter than the chains of denial.

You may awaken to new truths—
Only to discover those you love still sleep.

You cannot force their eyes open.
You can only walk your path with integrity,
and care for those who are ready to walk beside you.

Fuve Practice

Breathe in: “Truth hurts.”

Fuve Principle

Truth may not bring peace at first.
But it always leads to clarity—
And clarity is the mother of wisdom.

• Poetic Definition
  Truth is the pure resonance of reality, unobscured.
  Lies are the veils we weave to protect, control, or conceal.

• Symbolic or Practical Meaning
  Truth liberates. It is often uncomfortable but always cleansing. It aligns us with life’s integrity.
  Lies may appear useful—used to avoid conflict or protect the ego—but ultimately distort connection and trust.

• Affirmation / Contemplation Phrase
  “My honesty is my freedom.”
  → Ask yourself: What truth am I avoiding, and what peace might it bring me if faced?

• Balanced View (Interdependence Insight)
  Lies often arise from fear—but by recognizing them, we uncover the truths that matter most. Lies dissolve in the light of inquiry, and every hidden thing longs to be seen. Truth is not a weapon, but a liberation.
