Very true!
However with wisdom comes the ability to speak the truth in such a way that takes into consideration where the other person is at. We have a perfect example of this in Ra, who always spoke truth to Don, but didn't always provide complete answers. Ra was honest when they couldn't provide an answer for whatever reason. There was no deception.
A way to speak truth to someone who can't handle it is to provide a simplified version; it is still true but without the deeper, more subtle nuances.
If we radiate and remain true to our truth, and the other person can't handle it, then it becomes a catalyst for them.
This is probably why many spiritual teachers spoke in parables; they could convey the concepts without triggering the students' fear reflex by hearing something they weren't ready to accept.
