FREUD ON TRUTH

FREUD
ON TRUTH
GAMILSINKILLC
It is human nature
To consider something incorrect
If we do not like it
In this statement
Freud reveals one of the deepest mechanisms
Of psychological denial
That dominates the human mind
Truth is not rejected because it is false
But because it disturbs us
Contradicts our desires
Or wounds our image of ourselves
We do not see the truth as it is
But as we wish it were not
The mind does not search for the truth
As much as it searches
For what satisfies its previous convictions
And what agrees with its whims
Thus, the self becomes a measure of truth
Not proof
What we do not like, we reject it
And condemn it
Not because it is wrong
But because
It does not flatter us
Freud, as usual
Does not expose others
But rather sheds light
On the flaw within us all
We do not see the truth
As it is
But as it is not
