False Information

Most educators realize how difficult it is to teach someone who has previously been taught in error on a subject. False information is very difficult to dispose of once we have become accustomed to using such information within our life. It has been more than thirty years since I began to clean up my life and formulate a new mental equation, yet I am still trying to rid myself of all the false information I have acquired. Even when the false information is purged, remnants remain. For example, I still dislike my older brother for telling me that there was no Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. Heaven only knows how I would have reacted had my brother told me the truth about something really important in my life. There are many times in life when people simply don't want to be told the truth, they are comfortable with their false information and are resistant to changing their beliefs. Further, the world is filled with special interest groups who couldn't care less about true or false information, their only concern is to further their own agenda. To them information, true, false, or somewhere in between, is simply a tool to use toward their own goals.
