    I found myself in an ironic position when I realized that I was self-deceiving myself when choosing which article, Real self-deception by Alfred R. Mele or Self-Deception as a Pretense by Tamar Szabo Gendler, I supported the most. The first article I read was Mele 's and his way of describing several points of his view confused me as well as some of them enlightened me. As I moved on to Gendler 's article, I found her way of explaining herself somehow more reader-friendly and hence more understandable. Consequently, this made me truly believe that Gendler 's points of view made more sense than Mele 's, I was non-intentionally self-deceiving myself. As it turns out, the next class I find myself putting some of Gendler 's points of view under the microscope because of my fellow peers who were justifiably criticizing them.…
