| JackHandy said: It's confirmation bias. You ignore/downplay the things that create internal conflict, and you embellish/overplay the things (regardless of how few) that fortify your life-choices. We're all susceptible, although very few of us are aware of it when it's happening. And even when you make people aware of it, most of them will confirmation-bias that awareness right out of their minds before even considering it (usually by using an ad hominem fallacy toward the person who brought it to their attention). It's a real problem. |
Right back at you!
We reap what we sow
