Consider that the world is not what you’ve been told it is by people that you trusted at the time. Truth is truth and the one thing that matters.

“…comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth.” C.S. Lewis

Also listen to Satusfied Mind by Porter Wagoner.

“Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.”

Frank Herbert
