My comforting truth is that I'm not such a jumped up egocentric fuckwit with an overinflated sense of my own self importance and intelligence that I think strangers in the street are thinking of ways to harm me. They have better things to think about, we all do.
Oh yes. I guess that both comfortable and
uncomfortable truth is that i'm not important. On one hand, i will not become a historical figure and may find myself endangered by something blanket (war, natural disaster). On the other hand, that means chances of someone
deliberately coming after me are astronomically slim. Take that, Hitler!
Oh, another nice thing: racism has been pretty much discredited. It's still there, yes, but it's no longer a popular viewpoint. Oh, and there's also that "gender equality" thing, which has started even earlier than "racial equality", and is thus even more widely accepted. How's that for a comforting truth?
