Nothing is true only because we like

Our ideas lose realism when we get carried away by our desire to enjoy at any price.

Do not be so disrespectful to human intelligence if it were not so many people boast about it. If we were more humble to compare with other living things, perhaps I would be more inclined to sweeten my stupidity scholarly attacks.

But that gentleness is far from appearing. We continue to insist with the truths requires physical strength.

Something that is hard to understand is the difference between what we are and what we should be. We dazzles this aspiration so idealistic that we often judge between us with reference to a theoretical ideal that is far of looking like what you really are.

A human stupidity joke that someone complained because his donkey died when I was getting used to live without eating.

's Character could not identify the cause of death of your pet because it was preferred to ignore his own wrong action to deprive supply.

As seems to be a constant in our behavior that too often privilege interpretations favorable to our desires at the expense of more realistic assumptions though less enjoyable for our ego, is a very successful practice suspicious of any explanation that could benefit the proponent.

In other words, if someone says, for example, that suffering brings tone, temper and purity to his character, it is worth assuming that the lover found some benefit unspeakable pain to prefer more painful options.

For example, a possible explanation for his preaching might indicate that adopted the defense mechanism whereby "if you can not handle it, Join him," ie, "force the facts to ally with your enemy."
