That's in part because our beliefs about it not only help make the world what it is, but make us who we are.
No single overarching theory of truth can encompass everything we would wish from such a theory, and indeed truth is never finally known; but that does not in any way invalidate the attempt.

Truth-seeker vs. Community seeker distinction as opposed to naming behaviors as rude vs validation-seeking
Generosity will break your heart. It will heal your Love threshold. You will realize that everybody needs your love. You don’t have to love everybody. That’s too hard; don’t start there. Just begin to notice how much everyone needs and wants to be loved. Let it soften and open your heart.
Robert Ellis • Coaching From Essence: Create a Thriving Practice Doing Powerful Work With Clients You Love
Making sense of experience seems to be one of the
fundamental drives in human nature. This need for meaning is irrepressible and ongoing. Its ranges from the earliest beginnings of rudimentary distinctions that the baby starts to make even in utero up to the most elaborate explanations of why my spiritual path and my guru is superior to other ways...

The point is to try and step outside of your existing framework for thinking about how you approach (some set of) things, and to perceive how your past experience and existing worldview influences your expectations of how things will go, and how those expectations would then influence the outcome. It can be helpful to do thought experiments where y

This is describing about the tendency to get trapped in the HOW based on the past. Focus on the next thing determining your current way of being, creates more of the future you want to see. Deliberately stepping out of the local optima you’ve created can result in desired outcomes as a side effect. For me, if I want to coach more awakened tech CEOs I have to assume abundance and that I already can talk to them.
I don't see with my eyes. I see with my mouth. That is to say, I see with language. Things occur as they occur because of language. What distinguishing is, is to take something like an undifferentiated mass and to bring forth from that mass a realm of possibility. Distinction gives existence. It makes existence possible.
Extreme Solicitude in Being-with-one-another:
[This is] a kind of solicitude which does not so much leap in for the Other as leap ahead of him... not in order to take away his 'care' but rather to give it back to him authentically as such for the first time. This kind of solicitude pertains essentially to authentic care-that is, to the existence of the Other, not to a "what" with which he is concerned; it helps the Other to become transparent to himself in his care and to become free for it.
Life is an endless unfolding, and if we wish it to be, an endless process of self-discovery, an endless and unpredictable dialogue between our own potentialities and the life situations in which we find ourselves. By potentialities I mean not just intellectual gifts but the full range of one's capacities for learning, sensing, wondering, understand... See more

Rather than hoping things are better in the future, what if life could be meaningful and purposeful now, by living in line with what matters most to you? You still get to strive towards change and achievement with all your strength, but you are not waiting for a meaningful life, you already have it.
Dr Julie Smith • Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?: The Sunday Times bestseller, with over 1 million copies sold
Life is not going to turn out in future. That is hope as a defense mechanism. Life is brimming infinite possibility right now in this moment because it’s empty and meaningless. And it’s empty and meaningless that it’s empty and meaningless.
Our difficult situations become more hopeful if we recognize that events are never only what is explicitly formed. If we deal with events as having very many more possibili- ties, and if we understand that the possibilities can emerge only gradually as actual events bring new implying, then we may find a few steps that now begin something new.
