Every mind must make its choice between truth and repose. It cannot have both.

Comfort and honest thinking pull in opposite directions. To keep seeking what is true, you have to keep unsettling your settled views, admitting mistakes and living with open questions. To rest comfortably, you have to stop looking at the evidence that would disturb you. Most people choose rest in some areas and truth in others without noticing.

You might identify one belief you hold mostly because revisiting it would be uncomfortable. You do not need to overturn it today. Just read or listen to the strongest case against it with genuine attention, and notice how much your peace depended on not looking.
