酒话醉人凉话刺心
[jiŭ huà zuì rén liáng huà cì xīn]
Roughly means 'drunken words captivate while cold words cut deep into the heart.' This expresses two opposite sides of verbal expression: the warmth and sincerity under alcohol influence and sharp and harsh sober words. This indicates a dual aspect, highlighting how different contexts can change what we perceive about others’ speech and our emotional reactions to them.
