It's easy and tempting for all of us to believe what we WANT to be true is true when someone tell us the thing that we always suspected.
I try to remember this and not do it when I can but it's frustrating when there are so many people who just don't really like the other people who are basically in the same boat as all of us.
We’re so deep in this state of not having any way to discern fact from fiction, I think a lot of ppl just believe whatever aligns with their beliefs and denies whatever doesn’t.
