In response to the woman hiding her son’s true paternity from her husband, one shocking piece of advice read: “Burn that DNA result madam and let the secret burn follow.” This kind of counsel encourages destroying evidence to keep living a lie. But the truth has a way of resurfacing, no matter how long it is suppressed. Burning results won’t erase biological facts, nor the consequences that may come with them—especially in health matters or inheritance disputes. Instead of covering deception with fire, it’s wiser to embrace honesty, no matter how hard. Truth may hurt, but lies destroy.
