On the contrary, any selfish psychology will lead to distortion and deviation from facts and truth. For example, in reality, some people seek personal gain, deliberately falsify, reverse black and white, and confuse right and wrong; Some people vent their personal anger out of thin air, fabricate facts and frame others; Some people pander, say things against their will, do things against their will, and so on to protect themselves. Especially when insisting on "seeking truth from facts" will offend some people's faces and interests and may be retaliated, it is a severe test of party spirit and personality.
-Seeking truth from facts is a sacred sense of social responsibility. Only when we clearly realize the social significance of "seeking truth from facts" and the serious social harm of not seeking truth from facts, can we take "seeking truth from facts" as our conscious pursuit in our cognitive and practical activities. In this sense, the sacred sense of social responsibility is the "watchdog" and "arbiter" to ensure "seeking truth from facts". People who have no sense of social responsibility, when telling lies and fallacies, often keep their faces straight and their hearts beat. They are insensitive to the harm caused by not "seeking truth from facts" to society and others, and even complacent about taking advantage of loopholes to make fraud. People with a sense of social responsibility will feel gratified that their insistence on "seeking truth from facts" has brought practical benefits to the country, the collective and others, and will be condemned by their conscience for not insisting on "seeking truth from facts" and causing harm to society or others, thus prompting them to summon up the courage to admit and correct their mistakes voluntarily.
-"Seeking truth from facts" is an enterprising spirit. Adhering to "seeking truth from facts" means doing things in strict accordance with objective laws, which is a necessary condition for success. It must be noted that "seeking truth from facts" is an extremely complicated and arduous practical process, which requires not only pursuing and mastering the truth, but also bravely upholding and defending the truth regardless of all kinds of interference. We should not only learn and master all kinds of knowledge created by human beings, but also face the ever-changing objective situation, constantly transcend the known and explore the unknown.

-"Seeking truth from facts" is a serious, modest and cautious scientific attitude. To be "realistic", we must understand the objective situation carefully, seriously, deeply and meticulously, make a rigorous and scientific analysis and judgment, and act in a down-to-earth and down-to-earth manner according to objective laws. People with the spirit of "seeking truth from facts" understand the complexity and variability of the objective situation, and know that personal vision, experience, knowledge and ability are limited, so they can learn with an open mind, not be ashamed to ask questions, and find and correct mistakes in time through self-reflection. On the contrary, people who are smart and conceited cannot fully and objectively understand and analyze the real situation. They are often preconceived, blind and confident, subjective and arbitrary, and make subjective, one-sided and absolute mistakes, so it is impossible to "seek truth from facts." For leading cadres, a serious, modest and cautious scientific attitude is reflected in their conscious democratic style, and in their work routes and methods of trusting, respecting and relying on the masses. On the other hand, if a leading cadre likes paternalism, centralization, self-righteousness, closed-minded and arbitrary, then he will never be able to "seek truth from facts" and the farther away from "seeking truth from facts".

When you say it, nails are nails, and riveting is riveting. Pay attention to reality and seek practical results, and you must do what you say and do what you do. Only in this way can we avoid fraud, affectation, flashiness, inconsistency and ambiguity. On the contrary, hypocritical and intelligent people, cunning and insidious people often regard others as "blind people" who don't know the truth or "fools" who don't know the truth.
