The Cost of Truth

Some people are lying when they say they want the truth. Because you can tell someone the truth. And you can show someone that the truth you tell them is believable. But that doesn’t mean they will believe that truth. Because if they believe that truth, it means they’ll have to change something in their life. And they don’t want to pay that price. The cost of believing the truth is too high for them to believe it. So, they don’t believe it’s true. Or they don’t believe the consequences of not believing that truth is real. And they will defend their disobedience to the truth through cognitive dissonance. And try and rationalize it with any number of questions they use as a shield in their continued war against the truth. And that’s the truth.
