Our tendency to endlessly rationalize our actions in our favor makes the truth about ourselves not just difficult but impossible to perceive. Driven by self-deception we argue for our limitations and they become ours to keep. The extent of our honesty about ourself can be measured by our sense of inner strength. Where we feel weak is where we have lied, deceived, and rationalized our actions to suit our comfort, convenience, & proclivities. In Truth there is neither fear nor weakness.
