I am not sure of the quality of faith we are acting within. At times, arguably good, at others, most others, arguably bad: for our greatest interest is in ourselves. Why slide the hand away, if leaving it may serve you still. In the end, though, we may find that even acting act a matrimony of bad faith moments, we have moved further from the achievement of our personal interest. Thus, even in bad faith, we may equally undermine our own desire. Puzzling. Bad faith is, I mean. I think that in good faith we might adhere our desires better to our life situations- but I don't know how to convince myself, or anyone else, which faith is best to act from. I think most actions are tainted with Self at the center, so maybe there is no good faith at all. Or, simply I lack it.
and acting in bad faith?
