Bg 1.23

yotsyamānān avekṣe ’haṁ
ya ete ’tra samāgatāḥ
dhārtarāṣṭrasya durbuddher
yuddhe priya-cikīrṣavaḥ

Translation:

Let me see those who have come here to fight, wishing to please the evil-minded son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra.

In our Lives we must always understand what is good and bad and be intelligent enough to clearly identify and differentiate them before we take any decision towards our goals. Our great preceptors and acharyas are so kind that they always speak the truth in an acceptable manner even though it may not be liked by the general populace. If someone is erring  in his path, we must be bold and explain to him and correct him. In Sri Ramayana, Sri Vibhishina explained the truth about the right conduct to Ravana even though he did not like it.
