Ruminations - Part 8
Someone said that the key to surviving a life is denial. We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces.

Yes, one does that. Because (to quote a movie dialogue very loosely) "sach toh chingari hai. haath pe rakhoge to jalega hi". Painful, brutal truths are sometimes best left in the closet for figuring out later, while we first battle for survival. Unfortunately, after the batttle is through, the truth keeps rusting inside and before we know it, we have started living a lie.
Ah! wonderful philosophers, aren't we all!
