Kristan from Canada (again!) requested the Chinese translation for “truth” as in “I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling lies”…  Pietro Aretino, author / playwright.

…  fundamentally agree with this quote…  even tho I HAVE had people hate me for telling them the truth…  *sigh*…  ah well, hopefully they’ll understand why one day.

…  where essentially the first character means “real” (as in not fake) and the second character means “reason.”
