“Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--Success in Circuit liesToo bright for our infirm DelightThe Truth's superb surpriseAs Lightning to the Children easedWith explanation kindThe Truth must dazzle graduallyOr every man be blind--” - Emily Dickinson

Decryption of quote

Have you ever considered the power of truth and the way it can be delivered?

Imagine a world where every truth is laid bare, stark and unfiltered. It may seem like the most honest approach, but sometimes the directness of truth can be overwhelming.

That's where the concept of telling the truth "but tell it slant" comes into play.

It's about finding a balance between honesty and sensitivity, between clarity and compassion.

Success in Circuit lies

When we approach truth from different angles, when we consider the perspective of others, we create a circuit of understanding.

Too bright for our infirm Delight

Truth can be blinding in its brilliance, too intense for our fragile hearts to bear.

The Truth's superb surprise

But when truth is revealed gradually, when it is delivered with care and consideration, it becomes a superb surprise.

As Lightning to the Children eased

Just like how we explain lightning to children, the truth must be presented in a way that is understandable and gentle.

The Truth must dazzle gradually

For if truth is revealed too quickly, too harshly, it can blind us to its beauty and wisdom.

Or every man be blind--

So let us remember to tell the truth, but tell it slant, with kindness and empathy, so that we may all see its brilliance without being blinded by its intensity.
