Sometimes people are afraid to speak the truth. At other times, some are unwilling to speak it. They have their reasons. Or should I say....excuses? I think it is usually related to pride, ignorance and fear. The famous English philosopher and scientist by the name of Roger Bacon covered it fairly well. RD
"There are in fact four very significant stumblingblocks in the way
of grasping the truth, which hinder every man however learned,and scarcely allow anyone to win a clear title to wisdom, namely,
the example of weak and unworthy authority,
longstanding custom,
the feeling of the ignorant crowd,
and the hiding of our own ignorance while making a display of our apparent knowledge."
Roger Bacon (1220-1292
