Dismissing, Or Even Hating The Truth 

“No one is more hated than those who speak the truth.
-Plato

People hate an absolute truth as there is no getting away from it because it cuts through all assumptions. We dismiss the truth of our existence in favour of being entertained by a theory, rather than realising that we are the absolute truth; under the laws of karma, we are responsible for everything that happens to us. 

If we hold onto an idea that the truth is either out there in the universe or in our mind, we will live in an illusion, a fantasy. It is the pure observation of consciousness that is the truth. 

Occam’s razor is the principle that, in an event of two possible explanations, the explanation that requires the fewest assumptions is usually correct. The more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely the explanation. The problem for believers is all the discussion that goes with belief.

The absolute truth is consciousness for, without that, nothing could be known. Our thoughts are assumptions, but we cannot deny the experience of conscious awareness. 

Pride hates to admit that reality is that simple. 
Pride likes to control.
