We naturally believe in things we believe we should. And we couldn't believe we should, if we thought others should not.
So here we are with everyone trying to convince everyone they are right.
It's paradoxical in that it's needed for harmony but at the same time is the root cause of disharmony.
The paradox resolves itself once you realize that the truth would serve the function just as well. Unfortunately, the we were able to find it out a bit too late - after the delusions had taken hold.
