It may mean that we have, despite ourselves, shut our ears to information that fails to conform to our hopes — hopes which will thereby be endangered all the more.

. . . we had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth. There were so many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day.

But we can't know better until knowing better is useless.
