"it must be because they are more interested in feeling good than the truth."

Everybody is. Including me. Which is why the only people whose opinions others can trust, must not only be extremely intelligent, but also engaged in fields (or have the mindset) where finding and knowing the truth, regardless of its implications, gives them more pleasure than any displeasure that truth might cause them.

In that case you should be getting a great deal of pleasure when you finally realize the truth about the many things you have been wrong about. Unless you're wrong about that too.
