There are many things that are obviously true, but people still refuse to see them. We can take some simple examples – let’s say, you can know that somebody is being a terrible friend or partner to you. They are literally a walking red flag, but it is what it is because you love them, you have fun together and you just choose to look away.
Well, there are things with similar principles that everybody knows but just chooses to look away – such as that alcohol is no good for us or our phones are just robbing us of our time and attention. So, one Reddit user recently posed a question online asking folks to share things that are blatantly true, but that people still choose to ignore. Scroll through and share your opinion!

If no one gets paid enough money no one can afford to buy things. If no one buys things they won’t make as much and then people lose jobs. Companies are all about under paying and over profit, but those same employees are the ones that are paying their bills…. If your employees cant afford your products you have a problem.

A grown child going No Contact with their parent means that their parent must have done something to break the innate trust a child has toward their parent. It’s the child who needs understanding in this situation, not the parent.
Children are “programmed” to love their parents, it’s what ensures their survival etc. That love is deep and doesn’t go away just because a parent was a little mean once. It requires consistent betrayal of the childs trust, abuse/neglect/etc.

Amazon is actually terrible. It’s full of cheap junk and counterfeit items. There is no reason for Bezos to hoard so much wealth.

Rubbing scents on your skin will not cure cancer or any other disease. There is some evidence that lemon oil has anti viral properties because lemons do and the menthol from peppermint oil can help alleviate headaches….but swallowing essential oils or rubbing them on your feet is not effective 99.99% of the time.

No legitimate business makes you pay money to work for that business. So many people in an MLM do not understand this, but yet shell over hundreds to thousands every month to maintain their “platinum XL Diamond-coated/Bleached A*****e” tier of their membership to Herbalife or whatever they belong to as an MLM.
(I live with someone in my graduate school who drank the Herbalife Kool-Aid…)
