unpleasant realities...
The treatment of unpleasant realities by not including them in his picture of the world comforts but at the same time befools a man.
None of the great prophets like Jesus and Buddha denied the existence of sickness, the reality of pain, or the significance of suffering in the cosmos.
No--they acknowledged them as being inseparable from human life but pitied the victims and offered them an inward comfort which was based on truth and reality.
