We Are Losing Touch With Reality.

We are losing touch with reality.

It’s easy to reject science. It tells us things we don’t always want to hear. It often feels distant and cold, full of jargon and concepts that seem too complicated to matter. It’s easier to believe something that feels simple, something that fits our existing views, something that doesn’t challenge the way we already see the world.

But science isn’t the enemy. It’s a light in the dark.

Imagine standing at the edge of a vast ocean. You know the waves are real because you see them. You can feel the wind, hear the rush of water. But someone tells you it’s all a trick, that the ocean doesn’t exist. If you believe them, for a while, you might feel safe from the uncertainty of what lies beneath the surface. But the truth of the ocean remains. Denying it doesn’t stop the waves from coming.

Science works the same way. It helps us understand the unseen—things too big or too small for us to grasp on our own. Like gravity keeping us grounded, like germs making us sick, like the climate changing around us. Science shows us these realities, even when we’re afraid to face them.

Denial is tempting because it feels easier than confronting the unknown. But denying science leaves us adrift in a sea of misinformation. Only when we open our minds to what science reveals can we start to find solid ground again.

The beauty of science is that it’s not there to control us. It’s there to help us. To protect us. To give us a way forward, even when the answers are hard to hear.

Facing facts doesn’t have to take away wonder. It can lead to something greater. By embracing what science tells us, we open the door to awe, to a deeper understanding of the world, and to our place within it.

The truth is out there, waiting for us to see.
