Have you ever discovered something that made you realize your life is a lie?

Sometimes we’re behind the 8-ball. We don’t know which way is up, and that’s okay. Sometimes life comes around and makes a fool out of us. It’s part of the natural order of things. We’re not always going to be right. It would be weird if we were. If we were running around town being right about stuff, then when would we ever learn? The quickest way to learn something is through failure. It’s the whole point of childhood. You run around, ignorant of the world and its ways, until life comes around to teach you something. But sometimes those lessons in failure come a lot later in life than we’re expecting. And sometimes they come from the strangest places. That’s what happened to the person in this story, who shared their unexpected life lesson on the Mildly Infuriating subreddit.
