After a recent discussion, I became interested in how people lie to themselves by refusing to accept the truth. Just as black is black and white is white, truth is truth. It is not relative and just because you refuse to believe it does not change it.
It's fascinating how you can tell some people that you got six inches of snow and they would simply believe you had told them the truth. There is another group who would want to see proof that there was actually six inches and not five point five inches. If, by chance, there was five point five inches they would be certain they had been lied to! Then there are the groups of people who think, as long as they personally believe something to be true, for them, that makes it true.
So, what is the deal here? Do these people lie to themselves on such a consistent basis they don't recognize truth? Have they been mistreated and lied to by others regularly so they are fearful and distrustful? Do they have no confidence in their own abilities so choose to not believe anything?
I don't know what the answer is. What I do know, is the Truth sets you Free!
