Well, I’ll go one better:
We live in the land of the Bubble People, and facts are not allowed to violate the bubble. For many people, they live in a state of unreality, that is, it’s my team verses your team to the point were the fall back line is something like: “I was only following orders.â€
The lesson of the child self-esteem is more important then getting the answer right has infiltrated the ‘adult’ world—where adults want to be perpetual youths, they dream dreams and never have to face the adult world where there are no magic wands and no one to turn down the bed at night.
So, the willful failure to recognize a fact is a real and distressing psychological issue. We must now seek a pill—or better yet develop am effective trauma-therapy to force adults to put away the toys of youth. I say effective, because and strangely enough, 9/11 couldn’t do it. Planes, falling builds and bodies just weren’t enough.
What the elements of this trauma theory could be, I know not—not yet that is. I haven’t formulated even a passing, even, glib comment, but something must be done. Adults must face facts and that is difficult when these same adults desire—as children desire—someone like a political candidate or the government to take care of them.
