Self-deception is not the worst thing you can do, but it’s the means by which we do the very worst things.
If we speak bitterly against someone, we can sour our heart toward them.
People with an overneed for control have trouble sharing power, can’t delegate, and tend to manipulate people, using guilt and pressure to get people to do what they want.
