Making fools of ourselves - by P.K.Odendaal -
January 2015
I think appropriately
civilized and appropriately educated people's most enjoyable and even coveted
activity is fooling themselves. Mea culpa.
I was inspired to
pursue this line of thought when I discovered traces of denial, hypocritical,
misleading and neurotic syndromes in my life on one of my regular
self-shrinking expeditions. And coming to think of it, I have written a few
articles about how things are not what they seem to be, without gaining the
perspective then that I should have. I have also written an article on 'What
kind of fool am I' which should also have warned me of imminent danger then
already.
