Food for thought: Being in denial doesn't hide the truth, nor does it mean that what we're in denial about will never happen. Being in denial means we live behind a façade, where we’re in denial on the things we're choosing to ignore, but unconsciously know those things will happen. It is inevitable that the things we're in denial about, will happen whether we choose to ignore them or not. For us to nurture and work towards a spiritual life, we should accept our truth.
