Simplified Meaning:
People often prefer comforting lies over harsh truths. Imagine someone believing in the dream of becoming a famous singer. Even if they're not talented, this dream makes them happy and hopeful. Friends may know the chances of fame are low, but they stay silent to keep the dream alive. This shows that dreams and illusions can bring more happiness than confronting reality. Holding onto these dreams can motivate people, making their everyday lives more enjoyable. For example, someone working at a tough job might dream of winning the lottery. This hope, even if it's unlikely, gives them comfort and helps them get through hard times.
