The Bitter Reflection: Embracing Uncomfortable Truths
Truth in itself does not deserve condemnation, even if its perception elicits painful feelings. When we are confronted with a fact that causes discomfort, our reaction reflects an inner struggle and defensive mechanisms—not a flaw in the truth itself. Often, people reject the truth because it hurts, much like a cold mirror reflecting our hidden vulnerabilities. Such a response is not a defect in the truth, but rather a natural tendency to avoid pain.
