Title: A traitor to yourself
Post by: Quantum X on January 04, 2021, 10:17:20 AM
Have you ever tried to deceive yourself? Deceiving ourselves is always possible and I'm pretty sure most of us did it to ourselves. Do you consider yourself as traitor when you're not acting the right way for your own benefit?

The only time I remember doing that to my self was because I never listened well to my self when making hard decisions especially the financial assistance to someone when I know they wouldn't pay back but out of humanity, I do allow and give them hopefully the will try and pay back but always end in disappointment.

Yes, I am sure everyone has experienced events like you said. But it all depends on each individual in reacting to it. If there is something I think is wrong, I won't do it, even if it gives me an advantage. Especially if it all harms other people, surely I won't do it even if it makes me get nothing or harms me. I think that if we get profits in an improper way, they will not benefit us. It can even bring disaster to us.

Have you ever tried to deceive yourself?. As human beings I think we have all done it at some time, personal decisions, economy, work, not wanting to carry a problem... I believe that the lie is linked to the human being even if we do not like it.

I believe that when a person tries to deceive himself, then he follows the path of a knowingly failed one, he just does not want to admit it and is looking for an excuse for himself. this is the choice of people who cannot overcome their laziness and put their imperatives in the foreground. do not be lazy and remember what you can achieve and what you can lose.

This is a case of someone trying to outsmart himself. At some point in our lives, especially when we want to make a hard decision or to venture into a new thing, our inner mind will continue to guide us, but we prefer to play a trick on ourselves choosing that which we know is utterly wrong. That is been a traitor to ourselves. A lot of people don't act the right way for their benefit, for instance, the case of a student who doesn't read his books all through the lecture days only for him to start studying during exams. That would be a very wrong move, you know.

For those who had been on the toes that they haven't been traitor to themselves, Maybe you should be let known that the moment you know the right thing to do obviously to yourself and you ignorantly goes contrary to the thoughts, you must have betrayed yourself.
Adamantly taunting around what you consciously know that it would have you a bad back in returns and you proceeds to indulge in it then you have betrayed yourself.

Yes in some ways I have, and I'm sure there are many people who have too, whether it's done consciously or not.

One of the things I've done is to have bad feelings towards other people, at first glance it looks good, but actually it's something that looks stupid if done in certain things.

Other than that I feel like I'm cheating myself when I already know what's going to happen and I try to force it. I think this goes beyond the limits of bravery, indeed we are required to be brave, but in certain things we must be able to distinguish where we should be brave and where we should not do it.

They will insist on saying that they are right before something bad happens to them. This is because the other person will have their own ego and will not want to say they are a traitor, even if it is to themselves. Regardless, I think this form of betrayal usually happens because we are not aware, or we are in control of our ambition for something, so we do what we should not do.
This should be brought back to ourselves, because we are the ones who can feel it.

Yes we are all one way or another being a traitor to ourself, especially when we are in the stage of dilemma and unable to take right decisions for ourself and end up taken wrong decisions, which lead to harm us in our own self. That’s why I always tell people around me should always seek advice and think twice before embarking on anything especially things that can imposed a long time pains or sorrows to us in our life’s, so it is better we seek advice from different people before executing something and I believe that will go a long way for us in avoiding being a traitor to befall us especially by our own self. Therefore we should not think we are too smart to do everything in our own way without seeking for advice because we might end up deceiving ourselves.

Yes, most people have one way or the other being a traitor to themselves without knowing how they indulge into it. Several occasions I told myself I must be strong to overcome fear and heart broken at the end it still down on me. Sometimes, it still happen in business.

Isn't this just being delusional? And being narcissistic? You only think of yourself or something? If you don't follow what you want, you say to yourself that "you should've done it" "it is what you want" "it is what you deserve". I don't think that's healthy to think about it that way.

Traitor or deceiving yourself, literally, is probably not possible.
But you can prove to yourself that a wrong decision is a good decision. And it is easy to do this - to play on your fears, resentments, bitterness towards someone. But the main problem here is our personal cowardice to admit the unpleasant or unprofitable truth. Then the truth often arises not understanding - why the situation has developed so negatively, "it's not my fault" :)

But it could be happening under our subconscious. We might not do it when we are conscious because we also think it could be self-defeating.

It's usually self-validating truths that will always come up, even if what we're doing is wrong. We only really realize it when something unwanted happens to us.

What we should avoid is self-justification, because it will make us want to always look right.

And this is another problem - the inability to assess risks, as well as overestimation of some risks. And it can be both a lack of understanding, and quite deliberately because of fears, which sometimes override reason. In fact, it is necessary to be pragmatic and goal-oriented. A simple example - a person wants to learn to do 30 pull-ups, but physically he is weak. First - he needs to recognize the problem of his general physical weakness and to achieve the goal (to do 30 pull-ups), he must first force himself to improve his physical abilities. This means that you have to force yourself to do sports every day, quit bad habits, unhealthy food, etc. And here a person often says to himself - no, there are too many restrictions, difficulties, inconveniences, I will not do 30 pull-ups, it is difficult for me :) But this is the weakness of a person....

Actually there are different types of lies and we all use it in different kind of situation as well but most of our favorite is this.

Quote
White Lies

White lies are the subtlest of all lies, often seen as the least harmful. Yet, they have a sneaky way of accumulating and chipping away at trust and credibility. While they may be well-intentioned, they can still lead to conflicts and strained relationships.

I know most of us have done this but we should not lie as long as we possibly can. If we break someone's trust things will become different and will become awkward in the long run.

There is a quote that says, "you can deceive anyone in the outside world but the worst thing to do to your self is by deceiving yourself. " If someone deceives his or her self, they definitely will waste time, energy and effort on something that was not really worth it from the start.

Quote
Do you consider yourself as traitor when you're not acting the right way for your own benefit?

Yea, ofcuz I do but I have man-up to face any situation and stand my ground no matter any circumstances.

This is like doing anything prohibited by law but we still able to commit and the most common thing is to have this forbidden food, drinks and substances by doctor because we have this illness but we are still taking like it's normal to us and came a time to face consequences on our own. Lack of discipline is the possible cause on this.

Suggestions is like making a prediction that is not sure of but all you points at is to make the right choice while betrayal is the otherwise where one intentionally had a mislead to profer negative results on expectations.
So, I have always arrived to make the right decisions for myself so even though it fails, I would either be overwhelmed for the wrong choice made but never had I seen myself as a betrayal to myself.

Moreover, I don't think I'd anyone could ever find Itself of betraying himself when you are left with no choice or benefits to bridge the differences.

Discipline in all forms of action that we will take is very important to apply, especially when it comes to things that are prohibited from being used because they will have consequences for those who use them. Apart from the discipline factor, of course, the age factor is also unavoidable when it comes to a disease that has been prohibited by a doctor but is still being carried out.Everything is returned to the individual to be able to apply the discipline, whether they want to do it or not, because the consequences will be obtained by themselves.

Foods and drinks that are not prohibited by the government or the law also now contain many chemicals that if consumed for a long time will have a negative impact. Fast food for example, is it really worth the intake needed by the body? in my opinion not.

This era is not like the past where food and drinks are still fresh and not much contaminated by chemicals. It is not harmful, but if consumed in the long run it will have an impact, as I said before.

Due to the fact that packaging is made for the purpose of being able to last for a certain time, it is not surprising that additional chemicals are always added to food and drinks so that they can last quite a long time. Not to mention ready-to-eat food, which is clearly made in a way that goes beyond natural rules, which have long been a guide for human health.so that this process will inevitably have an impact in the future, of course in the long term.
Avoiding foods that are served naturally will be more responsible for your health, now and in the future.

Firstly, how can you not act the right way for your own benefit?, I thought something right is beneficial or are my misunderstanding your intent?.
Anyways to contribute to the perceived idea you're sending across, sometimes you need to be positive about yourself and act accordingly to make progress in life. There's a law that states that if you act it, you'll achieve it. If you want to be rich or successful in life, you must put up the principles that can get you there and remove unnecessary distractions. Your consistency, dedication and desire will manifest its physical equivalent in due time.

This might be the main reason why the percentage of people passing at an early age is high because nowadays, the food that we consume often contains chemicals and other harmful substances that can affect our bodies in the long run. In the past, people's lifestyles were mainly focused on eating a healthy diet with no chemicals and avoiding foods that can harm the body.

I totally agree with you mate. Food and drink is the most common thing we tolerate ourselves even if we knew some of it isn't good for our health. This kind of cheating is common and I actually did it myself as well but yeah as long as we are disciplined we will stay away from these processed goods and chemicals and will prefer fresh foods from the garden and any other healthy foods available around us. Cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and diabetes is the most common condition that is caused by consuming unhealthy food and drinks.

It is unavoidable because of the development of the times which is leading to renewable technology, everything wants to be instant, so what you say becomes the main threat that all food ends up being contaminated with dangerous substances, because of the desire to produce it quickly. By wanting everything to be produced quickly, everyone is also forced to be able to produce it immediately by engineering through chemicals, which will be felt for a long time.
It is not surprising that many infant deaths are due to the wrong diet of the baby's mother since before marriage, so that when giving birth, undesirable impacts can occur.

The truth is most people are afraid to face reality and making some hard decisions, so they just do what they think will be easier knowing fully well that they are deceiving their self.
Most times we make hard choices for our own good but at times we just keep what is necessary aside, because of what is involved and do what will make us regret later.
I can't say I am a traitor to my self but sometimes I blame my self for taking wrong decisions. 
Try and face the reality no matter what it may cost, thats life so stop deceiving your self.

This is a problem common to all people - it’s easier to find some kind of explanation of the problems that is not related to admitting one’s guilt, but let it be “someone else”, and as a variation of this feature of psychology - the search for a not very truthful explanation of some situation, so a truthful explanation can be very untrue comfortable. And this is where people really deliberately deceive themselves. But one of the reasons is, again, primitive cowardice or fear of the truth

In mental health, there is a notion known as "cognitive dissonance," which is a term that is related to motivated thinking. Cognitive dissonance refers to the discomfort we experience when our opinions or behaviors conflict with each other. We seek to relieve this feeling of discomfort, and one way we do so is by adjusting our beliefs to meet our actions. For example, if we do something we know is wrong, we may try to explain it by convincing ourselves that it wasn't that terrible or that we had an acceptable explanation for doing it. In some ways, this false pretense could be interpreted as a means of maintaining our mental health or perspective. So, even if it means misleading ourselves, we need to safeguard our mentality.
