English Phrasal Verbs (171/365) - Bear Out Something

in #englishphrasalverbs6 years ago (edited)

To bear out something means to confirm or provide evidence for something.

Example sentence:

When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. (Bertrand Russell, 1959)

Phrasal verbs are a challenge from English language. I love this post a lot.

Dear @dwcp, I would like to point out that I'm never been a particular fan of self-upvoting in my comment section. Steemit orders comments according to their upcoming rewards. By upvoting yourself, you are promoting your own comment to make it rise to the top at the expense of every other comment. Secondly, you tell me that you "love my post a lot" proceeding to give it a 1% upvote while giving your own comment an 100% upvote. That makes your comment sound very insincere. In you culture, such pleasantries may be par for the course but in mine they just annoy people especially when contradicted by actions.

If you didn't do anything wrong, then the investigation will bear out your innocence.
