If you live in bad faith, lies will appear to you like the truth.
For those who deceive themselves, their faith can not be anything but bad. Truth becomes elusive, even expendable when desire for gain supersedes the value of veracity; and those who abandon impartiality abandon their integrity as well. When the craving for victory overwhelms the hunger for fair play and justice; lies flourish and nurture a contempt for any disagreement. Without an honest introspection concerning one's own motives, and an utmost desire for clear sightedness; lies become accepted as truth. Indeed, moral cowardice demands a rejection of any objective scrutiny lest it upset the precarious fabrications necessary for self deception.
One who lives in bad faith adopts a faith in badness- whether or not they allow themselves to recognize it.
