If you pay attention to how Farmers Raise sheep and cattle its the samething with the Human Race Forcing men to sleep with women was a strategy/agenda to over populate the world so the Machiavellianistic men can get the human population to send their boys to war, then build houses, roads, skyscrapers etc.. so the bigger bosses can put more money in their pocket while u stay at 1 Level for life. Slavery... its alot to talk about on this topic

It feels like he is describing people who believe in a "Round Earth" and dislike people like me who know that the Earth is flat and immobile.

Now I see why other beliefs outside of believing in Christ's teachings and message is so difficult to embrace. It makes others feel 'disharmony', so they just reject it.

I looked up in the dictionary the meaning of cognitive dissonance and saw a picture of Marco Rubio the guy who wants to be President. Please God, help us.

Interesting to know that the person who was doing this felt emotional pain. It was a case of self sabotage and running away from me yet kept doing it. Seemed like it was fun for them at least.

So most ppl doing bad behaviors change their way of thinking to justify their poor behavior???

This is a good breakdown to me. Cognitive consistency (harmony)vs Cognitive disharmony. I'm seeing the spiritual view of this. I understand now. Thank you 😊

Jesus is The Truth! Can't change that! Yet, he never wants you to do life alone and struggle without help. His truth and his peace will set you free!

Omg......I completely agree 💯 with what he just said. Only being that helps me to fix my cognitive dissonance to cognitive consonance in is Jesus!!!

It's harder to change your Beliefs; their ingrained from childhood and dictate your learned Behaviors. It feels hard to unlearn!. That's why so many people take the easy route and go back to what they know, instead of improving the behavior to align with the new Beliefs, people tend to go back to their comfort and old mindset that aligned with their ingrained Beliefs.
