Yes, Mr Sagan sounds like he's talking from experience doesn't he. Me too, I have experienced slipping into a state almost describable as denial. It's not denial tho. Denial is a deliberate deception. This is a blanking out of information that just happens naturally, like a mist coming down. You don't think, you don't retain, you hold onto familiar beliefs. Above all you don't follow that, um what was that thought again? It's like putting a bandaid on, it's only a temporary solution. at some point it wears off again. and you're back to questioning why am I so uncomfortable, why isn't this working what am I doing wrong... I don't think bamboozlement's last forever. But I see people every day attempting to live with them. and it can get pretty bad. and I do quail at the awfulness of it. but it always seems to me that it is better out than in when it comes to believing in lies. |
