There's a word for that kind of lie. Hope.
In "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War," author Max Brooks highlights the complex nature of human emotions during crises. He discusses how individuals often cling to hope, which can sometimes lead them to believe in false narratives or half-truths. This reliance on hope serves as both a coping mechanism and a means of survival amid chaos and destruction.
The quote "There's a word for that kind of lie. Hope" encapsulates this idea perfectly. It suggests that hope, while vital for perseverance, can also blind people to harsh realities, fostering illusions that may not be grounded in truth. This duality of hope presents a fascinating insight into the human condition during desperate times, as people navigate their fears and uncertainties.
