Does it Matter?
#6
Me, too, DLP. In psychology, they might call that conundrum, "cognitive dissonance." It is where we naturally can't hold two juxtaposed positions simultaneously in our minds. Taking the theory further, this is why we tend to look for flaws in the option you did NOT choose. For example, you needed a new car and you're battling between a Ford and a Chevy and you choose the Chevy (only an example). Cognitive dissonance says that you will probably start finding big flaws in the Ford and accentuating the good things in the Chevy.

We tend to do this with our truths, too. Always finding big flaws in the other theories while accentuating the positives in our own beliefs.

That being said, I do have to state that I have never seen so many people who don't suffer from cognitive dissonance here at the NDC! Talk about open minded! I guess you really have to be when humbly seeking the future before it arrives. Smile
