Conspiracy Thinking and Truth

Conspiratorial thinking, whether concerning larger events or personal conflicts, diverts us from reality. It inclines us to assume the worst intentions in others, creating a dark narrative about them. Instead of embracing conspiracies, truth, reason, and logic should guide our perceptions, leading us to compassionate responses rather than keying in on the negative assumptions.
