About This Quote

Truth, the word itself, is sometimes used to describe what is. However, like many words, truth can also be used to describe how we view the world. This is referred to as the "truth that people believe." People tend to focus on truth that supports their beliefs or their opinions and ignore the truth that contradicts them. For example, if you believe in creationism and evolution and someone tries to explain evolutionary theory to you, you will dismiss it because it doesn't support your creationist beliefs. The point of this quote is that sometimes we need to be confused in order to find out what we didn't know before.
