It's called rationalizing.

It's also called denial.

Well some people lie to themselves to escape reality of what is going on around them.

Lie to yourself often enough
and you'll believe it
If you believe it then its true
So then you're not lying



and you start this because you don't want to face the truth
denial is a survival skill

For some people, delusion is preferable to reality.

Some find solace in delusion, others find ways to avoid ever having to take any responsibility for anything.

You have an interesting Point Rlynne




But why lie knowing that its not true?
What keeps the truth/reality from seeming to be the "Wrong" way?

because when it comes to the truth...it only matters what you think is true..the power of perception
since morality is a learned predisposition....it can become unlearned
and then there are proposals of sanity issues
how does one determine who is sane? It may not be as easy as most think....

It's a fish.

I was playing off Dan's old "Fish" post. Conceptual continuity for the diehard forumists.

LIE TO YOURSELF ALL YOU WANT AS LONG AS IT DOESNT HURT ANYONE BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE YOUR OWN LIES AND THAT MAKES THEM TRUE TO YOU IT DOESNT DO SO FOR THE OUTSIDE WORLD
