Anon we're all at different levels of understanding. When i was younger i wasn't as confident as i am now, so i believed what i was told by people who i perceived had more authority or knowledge on the subject without questioning. As i grew older, i realized a lot of those things i had accepted without questioning were wrong. As i grow older i expect to find more of these things, and adjust my mindset accordingly to rest as close to the truth as i can.

Maybe not everything we've been taught is a lie, maybe all of it is, but i know at least some of it is.

It's been said the winners write the history books, and they write it to shine a good light on themselves and the bad light on the losers. Some of the winners in history were evil.

If you're impatient, you need to learn patience. You might even have to unlearn what you were taught, to get back to a center spot where you can begin to question everything. It's a lot of work, and much easier to follow the crowd. But when you make your own path you'll find yourself in places the crowd has never been, and it's enlightening.
