Truth hurts

I always wonder: why can't we just accept the things that are true. Why do humans always want to change things that they have no control of?

Today I made an observation: it doesn't matter whether you realize something is true--if it hurts the first time you realize this truth--it will hurt more if you hear from others reinforcing what you already know as truth.... apparently there is not much desensitization...

As humans we are idealistic, and we like dreaming and wishing. I kinda hope that I can one day find the balance of "accepting truth" and "living with it" rather than trying to change it. Peace within. When can I truly obtain that?

At this moment I know I need God the most.
