Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.

Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.

Summary

This quote suggests that the process of losing an illusion â€“ realizing that something we believed was not true â€“ ultimately leads to greater wisdom than simply discovering a truth. This is because when we lose an illusion, we are forced to reevaluate our beliefs, confront our biases, and search for deeper understanding. In contrast, finding a truth may bring temporary satisfaction, but it does not necessarily challenge our preconceived notions or stimulate personal growth. Losing an illusion humbles us and teaches us to be more discerning in our pursuit of knowledge.
