What's kinda funny is that I blew off plans so I could do homework and here I am just watching a video on cognitive dissonance, creating dissonance. How ironic.

You can also be comfortable with the thought that good people can do bad things. You can hold your beliefs, accept that you fall short of them at times, and say that you want to do better.
I worked at a job where I was told to break the rules. I felt bad not because I broke the rules, but because I didn't have the courage to say no. So I've tried to be more courageous, with varying degrees of success.

Haven’t cleaned my room in months. It bothers me everyday but I keep putting it off for a more convenient day that never comes. Dissonance at its finest. Reminds me of Jordan Peterson, Imagine if all of us, collectively, just got our shit together and did what we need to do. The change that would take place.

Cognitive dissonance is the process _preceding_ what we referred to as justification/justifying.
Specifically... merging 2 or more things conflicting (your actions vs. your behavior/beliefs).
People attempting to justify their actions when they are contrary to their beliefs.

So C.D Is pretty much when you feel guilty of something and then you find an excuse to make yourself feel comfortable for doing some unethical shit?

Third point is really good.. but only if I come to know abt some sources or where I can see diff. Rationalisations people make... So that I could get an idea of how to not procrastinate!

[robbiesmoonmusic]

So cognitive dissonance is essentially a paradox?

This is perfect example using a soldier of war to provide a religious perspective of the moral duty to kill in the name of.

We use right and wrong concepts to be accepted in a society I shall search for this explained in social context because in individual lives u should include that there are no right an wrongs and don't mislead people looking for answers and knowledge
