Why is reality so important to some people, when they could just lie to themselves a little?

People who believe in their capacity to create a beautiful, happy reality, even a perfect life in the very real world, will prefer reality to telling lies to themselves. People who don’t see how they could possibly create the life they actually want in reality are very likely to prefer play-pretend to reality.

Obviously.

If someone refuses to participate in your fantasy life, write them out of your story and let them pursue the reality they want. You need to tell yourself a better lie and leave them out of the practical part of it. After all, if you don’t want realistic proof of matters, you can tell yourself whatever story you want. Why do you need them to be a part of that reality? Just yourself live in an unrestricted fantasy and create a narrative their disobedience can’t break.
