Denial of Truth is often motivated by one's own misdeeds!

Very recently I came across this phrase, "Denial of truth is often motivated by one's own misdeeds!"

I was just reading an article from mercatornet about a pro-life champion Dr. Bernard Nathanson (who died at the age of 84 recently). He was for the right for abortion during the four decades of the abortion wars in the united states. He was an unlikely hero of human dignity, a doctor who performed thousands of abortions...

What changed his heart? What made him to convert to catholicism and be a staunch supporter of the pro-life movement? It is really great to know the power of human being to change. There is nothing permanent in this world except change.

Viktor Frankl was very much optimistic about the power to change that lies within each individual. Out of his experiences in the concentration camps in the Second World war, He observed that a human being had the capacity to turn into the state of a swine or the power to attain virtual saintliness in the worst of circumstances...... We need to believe in the power to change.

Some of the excerpts from the article is below....

As an obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Nathanson knew that there was a living human being in the womb of a pregnant woman but he turned his face against this scientific fact -- in the first instance, perhaps, because abortion assisted his own lifestyle. At college in the 1940s he got his girlfriend pregnant and used money from his father to pay for her (illegal) abortion. “It served as my introduction into the satanic world of abortion,” he later wrote. After settling in New York he got another girlfriend pregnant and decided to abort the child -- his child too -- himself. How often denial of the truth is motivated by one’s own misdeeds!
