Self-Deception


Self-deception is a tragedy!

                What is Self-Deception?

⚡"Self-deception is simply the act of deceiving oneself."

Let's look at deception together.
When ever we want to talk about deception, we can't do away with these two words "Truth" and "Lie".

"There is no deception if there was no truth"

"There is no lie if there was no truth!"

Deception is deviation from the truth, into lies due to ignorance, lack of proper understanding, pressure, persuasion etc.

⚡"A deception that originate from within you due to wrong thoughts"

#1 Knowing the truth yet Walking away from the truth.

#2 Refusing to accept the truth.

#3 Making efforts to cover the truth.

#4 Repeating a particular action and expecting different results.
