Bend it

All of us are guilty of bending the reality. At times, the truth feels too harsh or overwhelming and People bend reality believing that it can hopefully shield us from the pain of confronting an uncomfortable reality.

Bending reality has both its pros and cons. Denial, self-deception, or reinterpretation, can serve as a protective mechanism, allowing us to navigate difficult situations or emotions. but there’s also a danger in it as it might prevent us from truly facing what's happening or growing from it.

Some just bend enough to make peace while some bend it like Beckham. Either way our moral compass decides the degree of the bend. I wonder if people ever introspect and gauge how much is too much?
