Why is it so hard for us to accept when we're wrong?
Brain chemistry, naturally;
When the mind feels its ideology is under attack
the body floods the brain with adrenergic nuerochems
as if it were literally, physically under attack.
This can lead to a denial of the facts
as the fighting animal resists the human's
rational reasoning out of a fear for
the survival of its belief system.
It treats the concept of change
as if equatable to death.
As such, humans become
the embodiment of
their ideas'
natural selection
and idealogical evolution.
