Few days back I met a strange case where the family kept warning to the boy about his wife and his friends too and he did not believe or paid heed to anyone and fell into traps. After sometime things spiralled out of control and he shared that the biggest regret he had was that if he would have listened everyone else. One boy use to steal money from his fathers accounts and though his father had the idea but was never ready to believe that because he always said, how can MY son do that.
So many times it happens that we are aware of the things happening around and we do get warning signals too but we are not prepared to believe them as they would hamper our deep profound beliefs and they would go against our current system of comfort. Now it does not matter whether you accept or not, reality is what it is and your not believing does not change the facts. If someone said the earth is flat did not change the fact that it is round. If an atheist says there is no God, does not mean there is no light/power/existence which controls everything. It is there and they cannot deny the power of it on everyone.
Just because your ego or pride does not let you accept something does not mean it does not exist. be brave to accept the things the way they are, if you do that, you are more equipped to handle things or else you would have bigger problems because yo have been ignoring smaller ones.
