Truthful sounds unkind
Truthfulness may sounds unkind, but is not.
Truthful things being said, just "sound" unkind to those relying on feelings, and who have never been told the truth, or who reject it for preference in something they like better. Facts don't change, truth doesnt change.
Understanding true & important things points to serious truths regarding ones actual eternal destination, so they can do something about it right now. *and those who dont sugar coat it, and share the truth - are doing the most loving thing possible.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend 👈,
But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.

But the companion of fools will suffer harm
Proverbs 12:15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel

Listen to counsel and accept discipline,
That you may be wise the rest of your days

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 4:8
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Will dwell among the wise.
He who neglects discipline despises himself,
But he who listens to reproof acquires understanding.
