If you lie to yourself, is it really a lie?
That's the question really. I don't know- my initial response is to say yes, but I guess it comes down to whether other people are involved.
Because the obvious follow up is,
if you have successfully deluded yourself,
and then tell what you believe, surely the
latter can't be considered a lie?
Normally, one doesn't lie to themself, in order
to lie to others (sometimes - the very good do),
so is one to be held fully culpable for sugar-coating
their perceptions?
Wouldn't my whole concept of
change be in
danger of simply being called a lie then?
