Confronting will bring healing

You can't heal what you refuse to confront. Unknown

If you don't take a long, hard look at what is hurting you then you will not quit hurting. Yes, it's scary to confront what is hurting you but face your fear to get to healing. This goes for personal pain, relationships that have brokenness, or anything else that is causing pain and needs healing.
As long as you ignore the brokenness you will have brokenness. The only way healing comes is through confronting the brokenness. It's a risk you need to take because you will find that the risk pays off. You will be healed and that's the best pay off. How do you confront brokenness? Find healthy people who can help you confront the hurt, be brave enough to honestly assess your participation in the brokenness (if you did participate), and be brave enough to approach the people who caused part or all of the brokenness.
Want to be healed? Then confront the brokenness.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
