disillusion 

The psychological event that an individual undergoes when what was once considered to be true (i.e beliefs and ideals) is revealed to be false and inconsistent with what is widely agreed upon as truth.

Most common symptoms: disappointment, confusion, cognitive dissonance, depression, existential crisis
Bombs full of wisdom that fall from the sky of reason and objectivity that cause those who are caught within the blast radius to be temporarily disappointed by the fallout of disillusion.
