Perception

We have a disease of perception. As a group or individually we can sell ourselves on any self destructive idea. The idea will make sense at the time of the 'thought' and it isn't until later much later that we ask ourselves WTF was I 'thinking.'

I spoke with a fellow addict today who told me he could make $8K per week growing. He is struggling financially waiting for contracts to be signed. His thinking told him in a brief moment of insanity, which is all it takes, a brief moment, that that is a 'good' idea. After walking himself through the situation, all the way to the end point, he rejected the idea.

Just so I do not come across as 'better than' my brain also thought, for a brief moment, 'just' a brief moment that it was a 'good' idea. The difference today is that I too have learned to walk it all the way through. When WE discussed it We decide that we are both crazed and let go of the 'good' idea.
