Denial isn’t a river in Egypt. (The Nile is a river in Egypt for those of you, like me, who don’t like puns.) I have no idea what living conditions are currently like in Egypt along the Nile, but I do know what living in denial is like. At first, it’s easy. You just believe whatever you want to believe and insist it’s true. It’s what toddlers do. We’ve all lived there at some point.
