Its not denial.. Iḿ just selective about the reality i accept... Bill Watterson
“I felt I was drawing close to that age, that place in life, where you realize one day what you'd told yourself was a Zen detachment turns out to be naked fear. You'd had one serious love relationship in your life and it had ended in tragedy, and the tragedy had broken something inside you. But instead of trying to repair the broken place, or at least really stop and look at it, you skated and joked. You had friends, you were a decent citizen. You hurt no one. And your life was somehow just about half of what it could be.”
― Roland Merullo, A Little Love Story
I try to deny that something exists.. i closed my eyes and pretended because I was told that its not there and I believed the lie... why? because i wanted to.. because accepting the truth would mean i lose something precious.. it would mean that i failed yet again..
does that make me a hypocrite?? a liar??
if you made sure put up disclaimers and warning signs everywhere, who do you blame if someone gets hurt anyway..?
how far would absolute liability apply when the "hazardous material" is emotional...

accepting the truth does not mean losing something precious.
That's the thing about what's precious to someone, you don't lose it.
