“You can't spell beliefs without lies.”
One of the things The Chemical Buddha counted on was that people believed what they wanted to believe. Even if that included believing things that were later proven to be untrue they would still cling to their original belief. For example, when it was proven that the world was round, lots of people continued to believe it was flat, even though every piece of evidence proved them to be incorrect. And beliefs about oneself are particular prone to warped views. For example, The Chemical Buddha thought he was thin. Even though his clothes no longer fit, he insisted on wearing them. Even when he split the ass of his pants. TCB found it was sometimes more comfortable to believe the lies than accept the truth.
What lies are you choosing to believe about yourself and your world?
What would it take for your to see and accept and unflattering or inconvenient truth?
