"Nothing is easier than self deceit. For what each man wishes,that he also believes to be true"

- Demosthenes

Demosthenes was a great greek orator who killed himself at his failure to be able to obtain freedoom for Greece.This quote is one of his many great quotes.Googling his name,you will find many quotes that show you how wise and how great and orator he was.Coming from someone who stuttered from young.

It is so easy to lie to ourselves and even easier to lie to the people whom we love,in order to get what we want, to be able to achieve what we set out to do or even to maintain our integrity and reputation. Its so easy to hide behind the veil of lies and deceit we create for ourselves. We our the greatest illusionists of all times and very often even we fool ourselves into believing that the illusions that we create are real.

It takes courage and guts to face up to reality.To know that the truth hurts.Stop creating illusions to make life so damn perfect.Having said that, I realise there are times when deception hurts less than the truth and sometimes you just need to protect those around you.
