You stand there, watching as people cling to their beliefs, steadfast in their convictions, even when reality tugs at the edges. You see how they pick and choose their truths, molding the world to fit their desires. Facts may whisper in the background, but they believe what they want to believe. It’s not that they don’t know the truth — often, it’s staring them right in the face. But the truth is uncomfortable, inconvenient, and messy.
In your conversations, you notice how people bend information, interpreting events in ways that align with their preconceptions. If it supports what they already think, they hold it close. If it doesn’t, they discard it without a second thought. You realize it’s not about what’s real anymore; it’s about what feels right to them. Comfort trumps clarity.
And as you witness this, you begin to wonder — is it human nature to shield oneself from unpleasant truths? You see how belief can be a powerful force, capable of creating illusions strong enough to obscure reality, blurring the lines between what is and what one wishes it to be.
