Reality is totality, we can never frame it.

This is a brief excerpt from my report on a related topic:
So what do you teach your children? To think for themselves. Teach them to think critically. Teach them to use discernment. Teach them to engage in debate not to win, but to get closer to the truth with the efforts of many minds seeking it in earnest. Teach them the stories, and let them do their own research into history.
If you want to teach them history, teach them how to do research. Teach them that the truth is whatever the truth is, and that some people have told a story that may or may not have any elements of truth in it. Teach them to never stop looking for the truth on any subject, and to never assume that they have captured the totality of it.
Insanity is not believing something that no one else believes, but rather it is holding on to your beliefs so strongly, needing them to be true so badly, that you are incapable of seeing evidence to the contrary. The number of people that share your beliefs is irrelevant to truth or what is "sane".
As a great psychopathic villan once said
