In the example I provided, the person could easily "justify" their belief because it comforted them. The problem is that the belief they hold is not grounded in known reality. They may be happy, but have opened themselves up to believing all sorts of things that aren't logical.
Then we move the debate to the meaning or point of life. Would you rather live a happy life or a logical life? What is the point of being right if you would be happier being wrong?
