self-deception [Theme] Page 4

- All the peasants believe in the imminent arrival of the Great Wizard, ' she said. - But, says the great philosopher Lai Tinh of Will, "waiting for the mighty horse, you are able to find the hoof even an ant".

In his journals Dostoevsky wrote about that in Siberia, among the vast multitudes of murderers, rapists and burglars, he never met any, allowed to admit to himself that he has done evil. <...> German society, consisting of eighty million people, so it was protected from reality and facts by the same means, the same self-deception, lies and stupidity that have become the essence of his, Eichmann's, mentality. <...> But the practice of self-deception was to the extent of the comprehensive, almost turned into a moral prerequisite for survival, that even now, eighteen years after the fall of the Nazi regime, when most of the specific details of his lies already forgotten, sometimes it's hard not to think that hypocrisy has become an integral part of the German national character.

There is nothing more stupid and obmanchiva half-hearted skepticism. For while the doubt is attached only to one side, on the other, the stronger grows the accuracy. One side stupidity seems ludicrous, and the other more inflated and more and more lies.

Promise to love is a disguised form of mutually - conscious self-deception.

How often do we take one thing for another! Fleeting pleasure - for the meaning of life, the momentary values for the guiding star... And how sad we sometimes have to pay for it! While payback is often our very lives. I'm not talking about death or self-sacrifice. I'm talking about the long and completely wrong life lived. Held on is unclear about what, what we'll never understand and reach... And, well, that won't do that because the death from the frustration of being ripped apart heart, truly terrible...

There are things that can't be taught. To comprehend only something to aspire to myself. Past the rest of the lessons you go through, not paying attention to them. In any situation each will consider only what he wants to see.

All you need to do the right thing. Everyone always. No compromises, no deals with conscience. Without mercy to himself. Otherwise it will lose meaning. The first indulgence will be directed to a false path that will turn your life into a nightmare and the you into a monster. The only lie, the only indulgence - and you're standing knee-deep in the bodies of their friends and say, "I want what's best."

I tell myself I will not go
Even as I drive there.
I tell myself that I will not go,
Even when I go there.

Do not notice how they lie.
Yourself about someone else.
The same in the same window.
Those words hurt later.
Scratched in the sheet of the sky.
And in the sky the frozen stars...

When people run funny from love.
Justified, fears dockable.
Invent hundreds of "if"
And happiness quietly by noise.
I'm afraid age and difference families
Religion, disease, or power.
Closer to be afraid and to be with my family
Give and take, dive and dive.
We feel freer to be one.
But a kind of unfreedom.
As we all run around funny love...
Here are just still find it.

People often lie to themselves. Much more often than others.

I will let the two-faced - but completely intact.

If someone dies, for the survivors it is important that it was someone unfamiliar and distant. It's better for self-deception.
