"...there are things - they look small enough sometimes too - by which some of us are totally and completely undone.” ― Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim

Sartre defines bad faith as our refusal to admit, either to others or ourselves, the meaning of our actions, even (or especially) as we carry them out. For example, while I might commit a succession of wildly partisan acts, I fail to see what strikes others as a meaningful pattern. This blindness results from my reflex to see each of these acts individually, and my ability to invoke mitigating factors for each of them. And so, I can tell myself, and others, that I am the most objective of actors, someone fully capable of exhibiting the proper temperament when necessary. - Robert Zaretsky
