Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort experienced when holding two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or attitudes, often triggered by acting against one's own beliefs. Developed by Leon Festinger in the 1950s, this tension drives people to reduce inconsistency by changing behaviors, justifying actions, or ignoring conflicting information. @ Wikipedia +4

Key Aspects of Cognitive Dissonance: • Causes: Occurs when new information conflicts with existing beliefs, or when forced to act against personal values. • Signs/Symptoms: Includes feeling "off" or uneasy, experiencing guilt/shame, needing to constantly justify actions, and making decisions to avoid discomfort, according to Cleveland Clinic Health Essentials. • Examples: Smoking despite knowing it causes cancer, ignoring news that contradicts political views, or engaging in wasteful behavior while valuing environmentalism.

Heaven & hell
are interpretations

of how life can be.

If one properly
reads the Bible
& other historic
literature

An idea,
as valid as
any other concept,
including nihilism.

It’s been hijacked,
for cruelty
& manipulation
I agree.
