Interesting word! When we don't follow it, we learn the "science" behind it and "con" ourself into thinking what we are doing is acceptable and truthful. It's very easy to con our own thinking, because there is usually a pleasure behind the motive. Do it once and your options expand.
So we do things that are morally deplorable, justify our actions, tell others that it is someone elses fault, and paint a pretty good picture of ourselves. But to someone who knows; our picture looks like the painting of a child, full of gramatical impracticalities, glaring holes in our story, and they can see the dirt on us that we can't see. Plus the most startling thing is that "cons" eventually crack because the story morphs into something uncontrollable.
Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us that we may not be in charge of anything at all: but we sure think we are fooling everyone, including God!!
