The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time; the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.

Hint: Many ‘sacred cows’ need to be culled.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
No satisfaction based upon self-deception is solid, and, however unpleasant the truth may be, it is better to face it once for all, to get used to it, and to proceed to build your life in accordance with it.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 8 “Persecution Mania” (1930)More info about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/789…

Last month, I bought this Face Facts Cherry Bliss Radiance Glow Mist. It seems ok, but it doesn't smell of cherry as much as I had expected it to. It is very subtle. #FaceFactsCherryBlissRadianceGlowMist #FaceFacts
