Let's lie to ourselves

from Set Meridian · host Set Meridian

When looking back at our past, our mind act like a storyteller, creating elaborate tales that protect us from facing uncomfortable truths. Using the lens of hindsight, we deceive ourselves by molding the main character to fit the story we want to believe. It's like crafting a book that makes us feel better. In this way, we use the art of self-deception to deal with the complexities of our past.
