This quote by Eric Hoffer talks to the concept that we are often our own worst enemies. We can be so quick to trick ourselves, to inform ourselves what we wish to hear, instead of the reality. We can be so fast to make reasons for our own behavior, to validate our own actions, and to disregard our own drawbacks. We can be so fast to believe our own lies, even when we know deep down that they are not real. We can be so fast to disregard our own mistakes, to deny our own faults, and to pretend that whatever is fine. We can be so quick to lie to ourselves, to make ourselves feel better, and to avoid dealing with the reality. We can be so fast to lie to ourselves, and yet, ironically, these lies are often the loudest and most convincing.

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
