Context: To think what we do not feel is to lie to ourselves, in the same way that we lie to others when we say to others what we do not think. Everything we think must be thought with our entire being, body, and soul.
“We all have our fictions, little lies we tell ourselves to keep going from one day to the next.”

“Why is it a surprise to find that people other than ourselves are able to tell lies?”
