Mariam experienced resentment from others when she expressed unpalatable truth about a difficult situation. Subsequently, steps were taken to solve the problem. Thereafter, Mariam felt shunned.
Remorsefully Mariam told the Rabbi, "I caused the upheaval." Rabbi Jesus answered, "You lanced the abscess."
Do not fall into the trap of preferring to deal with pleasant lies instead of unpleasant truths. However, do not expect to be popular when you reveal unvarnished truth in the pursuit of justice and integrity.
