Is it better to believe in a comforting lie or to know a painful truth? I've been thinking about this for a while, but I can't come to any conclusion. Pic obviously related.

In my experience, most "painful truths" are not particularly true at all, but rather are just rationalizations to wallow in self pity and/or feel superior.
Anyway, "painful" is subjective. What's better is to start by seeking truth, then adjusting your point of view in it if you find it painful.
