One of the hardest things to get over is being taught something your whole life and then finding out in the end what you have been taught is a complete set of lies!
As a person who has lived in a country where the history books told a story which supported the lives of the few privileged, and then finding out the history books have all been falsified over the years, I know what it feels like.
Every day I still face circumstances when I have to think twice about what is going on because I have been taught one thing which is not the truth!

Points to ponder:

Do you know how many of those things are based on lies...
