Simplified meaning
It's hard for people to face the full truth of things. Sometimes, reality is too painful, harsh, or complicated. For example, when a loved one is very sick, people might choose to believe they will get better soon, even if doctors say there is little hope. This makes it easier to cope with the situation. In everyday life, many like to watch movies or read books because it helps them escape their problems for a while. To apply this understanding, remember to be gentle with yourself and others when facing tough truths. Sometimes, it takes time and support to handle difficult realities.
