Going in Through the "Narrow Gate"
Jesus Christ stated that aligning with truth entails going through the narrow gate. Most people simply buy into what their parents, their churches and their schools have taught them. So, which is truer? What mainstream culture teaches or that which goes against the grain of common sense? Well, an entire industry of motivational speakers has been built around the idea that to be any kind of successful, healthy and accomplished human being, one has to do the exact opposite of what the majority is doing, like eating the food that most people don't want to eat etc. In other words, what works in life, what makes us happy, healthy etc, namely what's "true", is never the same as what most people do. Couldn't it then be the case that the same principle applies to spiritual truths?
