Confirmation bias is twisting the facts to fit your beliefs. Critical thinking is bending your beliefs to fit the facts. Seeking the truth is not about validating the story in your head. It's about rigorously vetting and accepting the story that matches the reality in the world.

We have a long-standing member, Mike. A military vet who struggles with his mental health. Last night, we nearly lost him. Too many others have lost their battle, but he's hanging in there. Let's see the power of our Spurs Community rally round him with messages of support #COYS
