Truth is often unpopular

The truth is often incredibly unpopular. Most people prefer their comfortable fantasies instead. They think there is not only safety in numbers, but also truth.

Many people can't handle the idea that they have been lied to and misled for so long. It's not possible, they think.  The authorities who told them the lie seemed so believable.  So they stick to the old, comfortable lie, particularly when many others share a belief in it and they hide themselves from any revelation that may conflict with it!
