We all tend to lie once in a while, whether it is a big lie or a small white lie. To lie to someone else can have consequences but to lie to yourself can be a good thing at times.
Our brains are divided into two sections, the conscious and the sub-conscious. We all live in a very busy and depressing world filled with crime and misfortune. Yes, life should be the most wonderful journey we experience but not all of us are on that path yet.
I think it is ok to lie to yourself when we want to comfort our souls and know that every cloud has a silver lining. When we want to achieve goals in life, it is important for us to visualise our goals. By visualising, we manipulate our conscious mind into thinking that we already have this goal. By doing this we are lying to ourselves.
Sometimes we need to lie to get ourselves up and going again. Yes, we know deep down that it is not true. But, if we can use our sub-conscious mind to lie to our conscious mind then why not use it to make our lives a happier journey.

I'm not too sure if lieing to yourself will make you happy... Because deep down inside it means that you are a very unhappy person.
ReplyDeleteSometimes lying makes an individual get through a day and a stage in their life. We have to face the truth at some time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you, I think it all depends on the situation. Either way it's still not a good idea.
