When reverence, faith or love enters the picture, rationality goes out the window. We find another's behavior adorable or put up when loved ones treat us poorly. This is true of a person, a political party or a football team. They appear to be capable of doing no wrong. For someone with objectivity looking in, it appears puzzling at best and intolerable at worst.
This is reality distortion.
We all have it. We live our fantasy. It may be that we think we are indispensable, like I do. That your lover cares. That you're not fat. Or that there will be a tomorrow, like voters do.
The solution? Monks have been trying to control their thoughts for centuries. Think, Willy! Get rid of those clouds in your head, and think clearly.
