How to use "Distortion" in context?
There is a lot of distortion going on in our society, and it's costing us a lot. We're being blinded by our personal biases, and we're losing sight of what's really important. We're worrying about things that aren't really important, and we're forgetting about the people that really matter. We need to start thinking about what's really important, and we need to start paying attention to the truth. We need to start getting rid of all of the distortion, and then we'll be able to start making progress.
