 7 Nov 2009 @ 14:52They say, you can lie to others but you cannot lie to yourself. Now, I can tell you from hard won experience, that this is totally the opposite. It seems that the person you are most likely to lie to on a daily basis is noone else but YOU. „Oh, that cannot be, I am so honest, how could I cheat myself” – you say. Hmmm, is that really so?!

You cannot TOTALLY hide the truth from yourself. Keep on reading carefully, if you dare to face up to it. If you do, there is hope for you. You might ask: „Why should I lie to meself?

How to survive, how to win. I decided to let it run away, maybe it would dream up the final solution that will set all things just right. So I pushed the snooze button on the clock every 10 minutes and dreamt away... I am part of the elite corps again... the situation is hopeless all around, the planet is flooded, we are trying to get everyone evacuated, senior officers are shouting commands, we are running to save lives of others not caring about our own - and all what I am busy with is a strong protest, disagreement with the orders, the commanders, the whole situation. It is just not right, it should be handled another way! ... More > |
