About this Quote

This quote by Robert Anton Wilson talks to the suggestion that lots of people reside in a state of denial, relying on a false variation of themselves and also their lives. They are so entrenched in this myth that they come to be protective and aggressive when confronted with the reality. This might be due to the fact that the truth is also hard to accept, or because it challenges their ideas and values. It can additionally be since they are afraid of the effects of dealing with the reality. Whatever the factor, it is clear that many people hesitate to accept the fact about themselves, also when it exists to them. This quote acts as a reminder to be open to the truth, even if it is uneasy, as well as to be ready to challenge our own beliefs as well as worths in order to expand and also advance.
