It is important to try to appreciate how engulfing, how completely blinding self-deception is. We don't set out deliberately to mistreat or provoke others - we see them *in the first place* as deserving this treatment. Our very perception of others is part of the lie we live... Self-betrayal is in the seeing. It always is. (C. Terry Warner, 'Feelings, Self-Deception, and Change')
