Summary

This quote by John F. Kennedy highlights that the biggest obstacle to truth is not always a deliberate lie, but rather the power of persistent myths.

Myths can distort reality, persuade individuals, and perpetuate unrealistic beliefs, clouding the path towards truth. Kennedy's quote underscores the importance of critically examining prevalent myths and recognizing their potential impact on the pursuit of truth.
