The life is full of surprises and the self-deception is always there to make us believe what we want to believe.
We all want to believe that we are special and that our lives are more important than others. We want to believe that we are the center of the universe and that everything revolves around us.
The self-deception is what allows us to believe these things.
The self-deception is what allows us to live in our own little world where we are the star and everything else is just background noise.
The self-deception is what allows us to ignore the pain and suffering of others. It is what allows us to turn a blind eye to the suffering of the world.
The self-deception is what allows us to live in our own little bubble and pretend that everything is okay.
But eventually, the bubble always bursts. Eventually, we are forced to confront reality. Eventually, we are forced to face the truth.
And when that happens, it can be a very painful experience.
Ten reasons why self-deception can be a painful experience:
1. It can lead to disappointment.
