27 Harsh Truths Some People Refuse To Acknowledge, As Shared Online
Article created by: Monika Pašukonytė
There were rumors about many famous rulers of old that, in order not to rely on the reports of their own servants and advisers, they sometimes dressed in simple clothes and wandered around the city unrecognized in order to find out the pure, unadorned truth about how the state lived and how the people related to their lord.
And you know what? It would be good to extend this experience to the modern world for us - and not only to the powers that be, but also to you and me. Because it often happens that our perception of reality is very different from what it is, and this realization hurts. In other words, there are many simple life truths that are nevertheless so difficult to accept. Like in this particular collection.

If someone disagrees with your beliefs or opinions, it is not an attack against you and you are not a victim.

Repeating misinformation doesn’t suddenly make it right.
The loudest voices aren’t always right.
It’s foolish to devote yourself to any public figure, you won’t get the same loyalty in return.
#3
You can do everything right, do the best you can, be the best person you can be and still lose.
#6
Stating a personal opinion and then writing the word "Facts" after it does not make your opinion a fact
#7
It’s “COULDN’T care less” not “could care less”. 99% of people who have said this phrase makes this mistake for some reason.
#8
That children learning to say no is an *essential* life skill, not something that should always be treated as simply an annoyance/something to discourage by schools, parents, etc.
#9
Sometimes you are the problem.
And in the same vein, being aware of your faults is not the same thing as actually trying to change them.
#14
Popping off on social media about the atrocities of the world isn’t activism.
Celebrities aren’t activists and it’s weird that people expect them to be.
Most people who claim to be activists aren’t actually doing anything to be activists in their own lives.
Just because people on your specific TikTok algorithm are talking about something doesn’t mean it’s common knowledge or that people care in the real world.
#15
That change can in fact be good and that things can in fact be better we just have to actually TRY to do them
#16
Whataboutism does not help promote your cause. It just shows that your side is as bad as the other.
#22
"Then" and "than" are not interchangeable. "Would of, should of, could of" are not the correct way to write 'would've, could've, or should've." People have argued in support of these egregious errors too many times.
#24
Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it
#27
That life is full of randomness. Our fear of accepting this leads us to do things like blame people when bad things happen to them. We want to imagine that similar bad things couldn't happen to us, so we rationalize that they must have done something that led to the bad thing happening.
Of course this isn't to say that what we do has *no* effect or that people can't do things that contribute to bad (or good) things happening to them. I'm just saying there's a lot more randomness in it than we're comfortable admitting.
