Can We lie to ourselves

Hey ,

This was one of the things I wanted to write from months actually now.

Even when we lie we know the truth .

This is a lie .

Because there are times when we lie to ourselves also .

Can we lie to ourselves?

I think we can and most of us do also.

There are times when we fail at something then we try to find all the reasons

which were not in our control which happened and blamed our failure on that .

For e.g in Engg exams – the questions came out of portion .

That chapter was never asked , this was the first time .

That teacher does not like me so I get bad term work .

So on……..

We all must have done this .

Why do we do it is failure makes us uneasy .

When we shift the responsibility of the failure from our self to something or somebody else we are no longer responsible for the failure.

This is one place.

We can or do lie to ourselves in many other places also.

It takes strength and character to accept responsibility of failures.

Don’t get me wrong here there are many failures which are not really under our control ,

And we should not be harsh on ourselves by blaming ourselves for that .

What I am saying is we have to be true to our self .

When its our mistake don’t blame it onto other people or things .

When its not our mistake don’t be harsh to yourself .

The problem actually is most of the people fall in one of the category

either too harsh on themselves or blaming others for every bad thing around .

So we should not lie at least not to ourselves . J

Have a great day .
