Victory or Truth?

I read something this week that I have been thinking about a lot.

"The mind seeks victory not the truth."

How often does the mind scramble like a defense lawyer to argue the point of view that justifies our actions or pardons our misdeeds?

Can the mind be trusted to tell the truth?

A tough week...

1. My Beulahology paper was due on Monday.

2.I was on sink #3 two times in a row.

3. My meal assignment was MEATLESS.

4. I was on Sabbath treat with Bitty Jingkins. AGAIN.

5. Spring cleaning is only three months away. ARRRRRRGH.

6. I was on BOTH bread AND cookies in the same week.

7. My favorite Muppets soundtrack got a red sticker.

8. I couldn't decide whether to go on town trip or to stay back and play volleyball with my PREF. I went on town trip,  and I think my PREF has fallen in love with someone else. Doh!

9. I got a ticket for having wet hair at breakfast and potentially causing EVERYONE (men and women) to stumble thinking about what I looked like naked in the shower. 

When will I have time to fill out my honor sheets and clean my room?

I hate my life.
