Henry See Quote: Why Truth Is the Greatest Threat to Lies

“When people choose to believe a lie, their thinking becomes distorted and twisted because they have to distort the facts to fit their beliefs. Their thinking is blocked. And part of them knows that they have chosen a lie, creating deep tension within them as they try to hide from themselves that they have chosen the lie. The truth then becomes a terrible threat to the false personality built on the lie, and the anger and force with which they attack is proportional to their fear of self-exposure.”

Henry See

This quote powerfully illustrates how clinging to a lie blocks our thinking and creates inner tensions. The truth becomes an existential threat to the self-image, often resulting in strong defensive reactions.
