Perhaps it's better to be deluded and wrong if it's all going to amount to the same in the end.
In the matrix, one person didn't appreciate being awakened from it because it made him less happy. He was happy being deluded.
I don't know. If I didn't find what seems to me to be a solution to the problem of evil, I don't know what I would do with belief in value, praise, free-will, human rights, justice and perpetual identity.
Truth maybe scary and terrifying, in the sense, not much humans can handle it. Still like a courageous idiot, I'm seeking it instead of living life according to what is pragmatic.
Truth may hurt us beyond measure. Or it may free us and empower us.
I still have my bets on the truth is worth the quest.
