Since we only know ourselves based on where we are at the moment...its hard to call it a "lie".....Looking back....I often acted not in my self interest but at the time truly believed it was....the "forces" behind our decisions are truly powerful in a subtle way....

Fortunately....I found a program that allows for and teaches tools for introspection and the ability to "see things as they truly are"....it takes regular diligence to remain that way and its very easy to slip back into old decision making processes....
