"a fact should be loved for itself alone."
The cold hard truth gets less credit than it deserves.
People like the portions of reality that help them, and make them feel more important, smarter, or please their preconceptions. That is not wrong, but the less fortuitous pieces of reality need love too. Altering the result is best done by embracing all the facts.
A problem is not solved by avoiding it. It is embracing the actual facts, and closely studying their exact nature, and relation to the surroundings that brings understanding. Understanding is the best way to overcome that which works against you. And it is the opposite of ignoring, hating, or denying the bad situation.
Hatred does more damage to the hater than the hated. Hating a fact does not change it. It does change you. It is very easy to see the blind spots in others created by this type of attitude. A little more humility is required to realize that we each have our own blind spots. While it is probably impossible to overcome all of them a desire to accept truths you would rather didn't exist helps a great deal.

The truth will surely set you free. What does not kill you will surely make you stronger

i hate whenever people avoid the truth in fear of things.
