Changing the world on purpose. Who, upon awakening, thinks on such things? It might indeed be too great a shock to our perceptions of reality to pull into light these discomforting conceptions that are permanently incalculable from the standpoint that nobody truly professes truth in this regard. We all at times delude ourselves into thinking we're good people at the expense of another. Does not this personal bias borderline on egotism, pride, arrogance, and the evil way? What a clever deception this truly is. If truth avoidance really represents the way our minds work during self-examination, then a true reflection of the image staring back in our mirrors seems to me to involve the same difficulty, though in a much less obvious form, as one might find in an illogical relation between beliefs and assertions of false truths. Cast inside this very general inference, I therefore turn willingly to other ground. I see nothing more than futility in progressing an argument that destroys its own credentials. We are especially familiar of our argument in defense of ourselves, as so many of us willingly lead lives of lies.
