I know the truth

According to the passage "I know the truth", Jeffrey Kluger states that most of the people in the world just believe in what they think even they are not real. What is that means? It means that even there is the fact which is showed in front of the people to prove that they are wrong, they will still just ignore the fact and then will still thinking themselves are right. Jeffrey Kluger also uses the study "fewer than a third of people were willing to reverse their positions, regardless of the contradictory evidence they were given" to show that how people ego are. Furthermore, he points out that everyone has freedom to choose to believe the facts and changed their mind or not. However, the most important thing that we should know is "fact is the fact", at least we need to recognize that the fact is right even we do not change our mind.

        From the passage, I agree that "we may not always agree on what those facts mean, but at a minimum we need to agree that they mean more than fantasy". It is because fact has evidence to prove that it is right. Somehow truth is just fantasy and no one can prove that it is correct or not, but fact is real and it cannot be changed. First of all, some people always do not agree what the facts mean, they just believe themselves. However, there always have evidences to prove the meaning of the fact is correct.  For instance, the history of the 19th century, Japanese government never recognizes what they did to China people, but all of the facts had been recorded into the book, such as they raped the women, they robbed their property etc. Therefore, even the government always denies the fact, everyone knows what the fact is. 

           Moreover, everyone knows that fact cannot be changed and it is realistic in the world whatever is in the past, now or in the future, they still will not change their opinions. “Some of that may be simple ego – none of us like being told we’re wrong” which is from the passage has shown that no one likes to be denied and it is true. That is the reason why people already know they are wrong but they still stay strong in their positions. For example my sister, when I told her something that which was from the fact, she always said that I was wrong and she was the one who was correct.  

        In conclusion, it is true that we cannot change people mind even what they are thinking is unreal and nobody can prove that it is true or not, but “fact is the fact”. Therefore, we still need to agree that the fact is real and it is correct even we do not change the “truth” which comes from our mind.
