That is an astute observation, imo.
Worthy of discussion. You're right he did not say that...exactly.
But after thinking I had limitations created by my own fear, weakness, intimidations, shyness, worry, anger, indignations,
pride, laziness, caring what others think, thus, 'untruth, falsehood or lies' (opposite of truth)..was awful.
So, freedom from those things -in other words: knowing the truth - that all of that is nonsense and needless, paper chains -- is joyous!!
Being free from so much needless, self-made bondage - knowing the truth of my own power and God's love does make ME happy, anyway.
So, truth=freedom=happiness - for
me.
