Self deception features prominently in the lives of most of us, for we are often prompted to believe that our perceptions are the basis of all received truth, there being no way that at our understandings can possibly be questioned, until that wake up moment when we suddenly understand that we have much more to learn, the result of having once believed that we knew it all. That's progress, and fertile ground for self improvement.
It has been said by wise sages that the wisest of students, is the one who knows that we should remain an enthusiastic student until we draw our last breath, knowing that life's journey is an open book with its lessons waiting to be written.
We are never so easily deceived as when we imagine we are deceiving others.~Francois de la Rochefoucauld
