Living In Fantasy Land Doesn't Make It True

You can go see Walt Disney's Fantasyland.

It's a real place.

But the one in your head is not.

Believing in lies does not make them true.

===============================

What if you don't know it's a lie?
What if you believe the lie is the truth?

What method of navigating life would be able to detect and correct the error, and what method would perpetuate ignorance?

Plus would nog (sans egg) help?

The Greeks had four kinds of truth. In one of these kinds of truth, a thing is true because you believe it. Fair enough, but Joseph created a church, that teaches not to lie, by lying. That creates a huge mindf**k in members who learn about the lies.

Yeah, but we each have our own individual 'Real Life" ... so ...

 Many of us wonder if we're really in touch with Real Life, but how does anyone really know?

If next year is worse than this one, it’s probably better to live in your own private Idaho.

I wanted "It" to be true for most of my life. But "It" is not true.

It’s like Buzz Lightyear finding out he really is a toy.

Yes, I've been a boy-toy...

It's not for everyone and eventually, a newer toy appears on the horizon.

Please remove your head coverings and pray with me...
