Ferrin smirked. “The others were trying to spare you from pain. The truth can be devastating. We spend much of our lives protecting ourselves from it and shielding others as well. We use lies to take the edge off life. We dream of a better tomorrow. We hide from our regrets and inadequacies. We try to exaggerate the good and downplay the bad. We even manage to hide from the inescapable reality that sooner or later we and everyone we love is going to die.”
“Cheerful thought.”
“Not cheery, but true. When a decision really matters, Rachel, we have to ignore our comforting illusions. We must set aside our wishes and give heed to reality. Nobody can accept the truth while hiding from it. When a decision matters, we have to stare at the truth unflinchingly. Only then can we find peace in our choices.”
Rachel smiled. “Tough love.”
“You can call it that.”
- Ferrin and Rachel on Beyonders: Chasing the Prophecy, page 133 - 134.
Seperti itulah kebenaran. Seperti itulah perlindungan. Seperti itu pulalah kenapa dilakukan penyensoran. Seperti itulah kenapa banyak individu lari dari... kenyataan (dan mencari sanctuari di dunia yang tercipta dari jalinan kata). Dan sekaligus, seperti itulah... dunia nyata. Juga cinta.
