What is something that you believed in wholeheartedly but turned out to be a lie?

The only bit of truth you'll find in any of it is that "obi wan Kenobi" kind where you have to make your own, depending on a super specific set of criteria and perspective. Which.. isn't really truth is it? Just another lie we tell ourselves to make it through another day, to deflate what could be, with what is.

You say Santa is real, the magic lives in your heart or something along those lines. No he doesn't. And if he were real, that's a very different reality then the "bit of truth" you presented, which again, isn't really truth. Just making the best of it. I guess everyone seems perfectly content doing so.

I say each time I have to restructure my beliefs to meet reality, it takes another small part of my soul.
