Self delusion

Once upon a time in China, there living a farmer, who was raising pigs for his living. One day he found one of his pigs gave birth to a young pig with a white head. Never seen a pig with a white head, he thought it would be very precious one. It could be presented to the king to please him. So he departed for the capital of the county with the pig with white head. After couple of days of travel, he reached another town. Surprisingly, he found all the pigs there have a white head. Now he reallized his newly-born, white-headed pig is nothing but a common pig.

The risk is not in what he does not know.

but in what he thinks he knows.

- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
