Denial is clearly so powerful. As the young man from American beauty said 'never underestimate the power of denial'. We can see this so clearly in action, operating below people's conscious level of awareness. The denial itself must be so unhealthy for us.
We say in Psychology that a level of denial can be functional. I agree with that. If we get rejected romantically it's okay to think if could've been different at a different time even though we really know it's not true. Those things help us to get by. But the actual fuel we put into our body, each day, the mass of the population having a complete detachment with what they put in their mouths, how it doesn't suit their body's and the lives this costs and the environmental damage.
It's like an underlying non stop mass holocaust and we don't even know. We can't see it.
