This quote underscores the importance of facing reality and making decisions based on truth and facts rather than on fantasy or wishful thinking. Ayn Rand’s quote means that it is possible for someone to ignore or deny reality, but they cannot avoid the consequences of doing so.
If someone chooses to ignore the facts or truth of a situation and instead creates their own version of reality, they will have to face the consequences of their actions and decisions based on that false reality. In other words, avoiding reality does not change the circumstances of the situation, and the consequences of ignoring reality will inevitably catch up to the person.
“You can avoid reality but you can’t avoid the circumstances of avoiding reality.”
Ayn Rand
