self-deception

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?  Jeremiah 17:9


Princess Morag was somewhat dismayed (to put it mildly) a couple of weeks ago when she realised that a particular self-neglecting behaviour was much worse than she'd been telling herself.  It seems that lying to yourself is pretty easy, and deflecting others from broaching the issue not too difficult either.  She received a 'wake-up call' and has been humbled in the process.  Princess Morag has had a tendency for a long time to think she is 'super-Morag' when in fact she is simply regular 'human-Morag' and when she read on this blog:  that pretending not to have any needs is trying to be God, her conviction on this particular issue was complete.
