Note | Many times, we only want to believe what we want to believe because it brings comfort and ease.

Even if it may not be close to the truth, people are often willing to believe explanations that are more favorable to themselves in order to keep their inner peace.

British philosopher Bertrand Russell once said, "Man is a credulous animal."

Even in the absence of reliable evidence, we tend to cling to certain beliefs because they make us feel secure and satisfied.
