Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Honesty is weighed by its effect on another person. If disclosure offers nothing except hurt, the speaker questions what purpose it serves. The statement raises a difficult distinction between protecting someone and withholding something they might have a right to know, without resolving that tension for every situation.
