The truth hurts, I know. It's biologically based actually. Our brains process sound faster than they do light, but light moves faster than sound. So the brain is constantly shifting reality so the world syncs up.

What does that have to do with anything?
This. Only when someone is standing 30 yards away do we see and hear the world exactly as it is. That's when your brain, sound and light are all in perfect harmony.

So?
The rest of the time we are living in a world of lies. Lies are what make the world make sense. Ergo, the truth hurts.
