Harder to Lie.
Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky in The Brothers Karamazov
The Five Steps to a good decision show our working out.
By showing our working out - even to ourselves - we make it harder to lie to ourselves. Not impossible - but harder.
