At the core of left-wing thought is a denial of painful realities, the denial of what the French call

La Fédela vie,

Facts of life.

Conservatives, on the other hand, are all too aware of the painful realities of life and

base many of their positions on them.

One example of this left-right difference is the differing attitudes toward human nature and

responsibility for evil.

When liberals blame vile and crime on poverty, one reason they do is that ever since the enlightenment,

the left is positive that human nature is good. So then when people do bad things to other people,

the left argues that some outside forces, usually poverty and in the case of non-white

criminals, racism, are responsible, not human nature.

Why? Because people on the left find it too painful to look reality in the eye and

acknowledge that human nature is deeply flawed.

Another fact of life that the left finds too painful to acknowledge is the existence of profound

differences between men and women.

There is no other explanation for the denial of what has been obvious to every previous generation in history that men and women are inherently different.

This denial is certainly not the result of scientific inquiry. The more science learns about the male brain and the female brain,

not to mention male and female hormones,

the more it confirms important built-in differences between the sexes.

Yet many people, influenced by left-wing thought, believe that girls are as happy to play with trucks as their boys,

and boys are as happy to play with dolls and desets as their girls.

Why do they believe such silliness?
