Are the frustrated more easily indoctrinated than the non-frustrated? Are they more credulous? Pascal was of the opinion that ‘one was well-minded to understand holy writ when one hated oneself.’ There is apparently some connection between dissatisfaction with oneself and a proneness to credulity. The urge to escape our real self is also an urge to escape the rational and the obvious. The refusal to see ourselves as we are develops a distaste for facts and cold logic. There is no hope for the frustrated in the actual and the possible. Salvation can come to them only from the miraculous, which seeps through the crack in the iron wall of inexorable reality. They ask to be deceived.”

The True Believer, by Eric Hoffer
