We have an incedible capacity to avoid reality and in most on the cases, when we don’t accept reality, we create one that we belive in and we can accept. 

Running away from what is obvious is a safety mechanism. We don’t want to sufer. We don’t want to be betrayed or vulnerable and we run. But at the end is only runnig from ourselves. I know suffering is bad. Strong emotions, depression and anxiety. 

We all suffer. Avoiding the truth is just a short term tactic to avoid suffering but it will not cure the couse. The most common situations are obvious in relationships. We accept to be lied because we know that the truth will hurt us. We give other meanings to lies just to make us feel better for the moment and avoid disappointment. So, we respond to a lie with a lie.

The problem is not the lie. Everybody lies. The problem is how we accept others lies but how much we accept lie to ourselfes. So next time you feel somedody is lying to you, think about what lie you tell to ourself.
