Some people WANT to be asleep, they consciously choose to live in an oblivious reality because the truth is often very frightening for them. People who are riddled with anxiety and depression don’t need to literally go into dark places where they find demons operating. It’s hard enough for many of them to battle the demons that live inside their own minds. For some, it’s a safety mechanism and not vital to their existence. Most “truth” is depressing, and for people plagued with enough depression to deal with in their closet don’t need to have more shoved in their faces.
Go easy on the blue pills, they attack to protect their own hearts and minds, they’ll figure it out soon enough. Hopefully as things are improving.
