Y!A - Can Anything Beneficial Come From Denial..?

Question asked originally on Yahoo! Answers - Original Link

My answer: (Picked as best answer by Asker)

Denial is a defense mechanism many people use. Deny the things that would make you feel upset and you will always be happy. However, I guarantee you that absolutely nothing good will come out of denial ultimately. Eventually you will realize that your life is a delusional lie that you created in order to not have to deal with reality.
