To me it means it's hard to tell the truth and to hear the truth sometimes.

It is along the lines of this; "The uglier the truth, the truer the friend that tells it". Sometimes it's hard to reveal faults of others at the cost of hurting their feelings- A strong messenger can and should always be truthful.
"Freedom and order are not incompatible... truth is strength... free discussion is the very life of truth.” ~ Thomas Henry Huxley
“Our inner strengths, experiences, and truths cannot be lost, destroyed, or taken away. Every person has an inborn worth and can contribute to the human community. We all can treat one another with dignity and respect, provide opportunities to grow toward our fullest lives and help one another discover and develop our unique gifts. We each deserve this and we all can extend it to others.”

it means that even though you may be able to handle the truth being told 2 you it is just as hard to look someone you love right in the eye and shoot the truth to them raw with no appetizer

its hard to tell (to give) the truth to someone because it might hurt them
so it takes strength
to hear (to recieve) the truth about something might hurt you as well
so that also takes strength
to endure

It means that sometimes, the truth hurts. It can be hard to say. It can be hard to hear.
