Denial

Often when sometime bad happen to us, we deny it in the first sense. Even with the strongest evidence, we can’t help disaffirming it. It seems that denying the misfortunes and wretchedness makes us feel better. It gives us absurd hope for the disastrous outcome.

Aimlessly denying the fact is detrimental! You should make clear of the fact before you claim the innocence. Always believe in fact, not your sense!
