Because enlightenment (the offspring of truth) requires change. We are creatures-of-habit. Change is not only uncomfortable, it forces us to expose our vulnerabilities. More than likely a death of a comfortable habit. It might just make us feel guilty about not being responsible for our character. The only truth I'm sure of is my profound ignorance. This alone opens all doors for knowledge.

because truth takes guts to tell and guts to hear... most would rather be sheltered in a world of denial than listen to the truth that might not be what they wanted to hear.

One has to be sincere to accept truth and sincerity is a rare commodity today.

And what is your version of 'the truth' and how do you know it is true?
