Meaning
This reads as an argument for honesty over comfort in public memory. It can be taken to mean that history still matters when it is painful, because younger generations need a fuller account, not a softened one. The line lands in debates over school lessons, memorials, or family stories, where the temptation is to avoid hard truths.
