Too quickly i too follow patterns of self-justification far from lamenting here i want to offer an analysis. "Are you enjoying the movie?" - "Yeah, uh, hey, i worked hard today and i, you know, when i take a break now i'll be fit tomorrow and that is better for everybody and.." - "i asked: are you enjoying the movie?" - "i picked a movie i thought, well, uh, maybe you might like it too and it has almost finished so then you can watch it." - "i asked: are you enjoying the movie? - "it's good i think, and it educates as well, and it..." - "i asked: are you enjoying the damn movie?" This pattern is the symptom of an existential feeling of insecurity. When i chatter and tatter and weave this carpet of self-justification, at the very moment i am weaving it, it gets smudged with self-disgust.
