Why do people fear the truth?
It’s a serious question, and one I’d like a serious answer to, if there is one to be had. The scenario that has brought this to mind is simply this: when someone dies, those who remain behind often choose to believe the most absurdly positive things about the person who passed away even though there is no truth attached to that belief.
Case in point: my father recently passed away, and I blogged about it here and here, in that order, prior to the launch of this site (all my personal blogs will go here from now on, FYI, but if you’re interested in working on animated short films or XNA based game projects, by all means join UBS and drop me a line), and I’m told that certain people have issues with the things I’ve said. For clarity’s sake, I’m getting this second hand, so I don’t know all the details, but suffice to say, the claim has been made that what I said in those posts was untrue. Unfortunately, not one word of of it is untrue, though I wish more than anyone else that the truth were something other than what it is and/or was.
