"Important truths begin as outrageous, or at least uncomfortable, attacks upon the accepted wisdom of the time"

There is no doubt that any truth which stands out against the conventional beliefs is considered as outrageous and ignominious.Any fact or truth is a change or deviation from the traditional principles.Nevertheless, accepting a change is uncomfortable to all humans and I strongly agree with this argument because any new fact which challenges the already proven, always undergoes tremendous criticism and resistance before being accepted.

For all we know that some of the facts that we widely believe today was initially resisted and considered as a myth by the society at large. However with sound scientific proofs, renowned scientists were able to establish facts that challenged the wisdom of that time. If not for Corpernicuous we woul dnot have known that earth is round, we would have continued believing that we live on a flat geography where a round trip round may be thought to be impossible. This does not end with Copernicuous, there were many other scientists and research scholars whose experimentation and proofs were initially considered as ignominious to the conventional belief of the church. Charles Darwin's famous theory of evolution was initially considered skeptical and implausible by the public and church as it was considered infamy to believe that humans evolved from apes.But after many altercations and disagreements today we accept these facts.

There are many reasons for the resistance to accept new truths or facts.Firstly, a change is a challenge to human ego, belief and faith.Winning over this challenge is something which happens with time. Secondly as humans it is in our natural instinct to doubt change, although we are comfortable believing in the already established rules and principles we have a resistance to accept anything which is new.It is not necessary to accept every change or proposed facts, but when the truth is established with a sound scientific proof and argument then it is fair to accept it. It is necessary to incorporate new ideologies and facts which can help the society to evolve. Evolution is a change which is a challenge to the current. And this change is good for the development of the society.

Everything on this planet has an expiry period, be it animate or inanimate objects, everything changes and evolves. Therefore, a truth which is new and against the conventional, when proven right has to be incorporate and not be resisted. Not every truth which attacks the accepted wisdom is a myth. Some new truths may also turn out to be a reform to make this planet a better place to live in.
