Like many things we hold to be true, we must keep our mind and heart open to understand when what we think we know is actually not so. Sometimes it is remarkably hard to accept the truth even when we can see proof positive that what we believe is not correct. Why is it so difficult to let go of wrong in the face of right? Pride, stubbornness, an unwillingness to let go of what has been a part of our belief system for so long. Perhaps a reluctance to accept something when so many people we are around believe the opposite. There are many reasons we might not want to change our stance when we are confronted with truth, but we must do so nonetheless.
