What's more delusional?
-A Notre Dame linebacker who for three years lives with an exclusively online/phone relationship with a 'girlfriend', who keeps embellishing this lie even after it is proven she is a hoax?
-A world-famous champion cyclist who tells himself that his cheating was justified because everybody else did it?
-Gun advocates who are convinced that everybody is out to get them, that the Nazi government is trying to take their guns because legislation has been proposed to limit the amount of ammo that can be in a clip and to ban the most egregious of weapons?
-Families who live with the thought that it's better to keep enabling family members who keep doing horrible things, because they are worried that they will lose them if they finally say no to them, even if keeping on saying yes accelerates their downward spiral?
One thing I'm learning in life is that people love to hold onto their delusions. I wonder sometimes if everybody is mentally ill, or just that in our world of mega-information that there's too much information now to process, and that we need to return to a simple and less complex time.
