Sometimes, after uncovering the truth, you want to bury it back.
This quote suggests that upon discovering a difficult or painful truth, one might feel a strong desire to suppress or hide that truth again, rather than confront it. The act of uncovering a truth can lead to uncomfortable feelings, regrets, or revelations that challenge one’s beliefs or sense of security. In these moments, the instinct may be to return to ignorance or denial, as it feels safer than dealing with the complexities and consequences of the truth. This reflects a common human tendency to protect oneself from emotional pain or disruption, even if it means reverting to a state of unawareness.
