Evening...



Durogh i musluhut amez
Bih uz rastee bu fitna ungez.

"An untruth that preserves peace is better than truth that stirs up troubles."
- An ancient saying (from Travels into Bokhara by Alexander Burnes)

Nice picture.

The quote though brings up a question. Is the word 'untruth' here because of some literal translation? Because ideally the world should be 'lie'. [I'm not crazy but just like unhappy doesn't mean sad, in my mind untruth doesn't mean lie. Untruth sounds something more like an omission rather than stating a lie outright]

i got your point
i think untruth is what is intended here, and even amez and ungez words are similar so original saying must have intended the same
