Witness to Injustice: Is There Any solution?
βIt takes two to speak the truth-- One to speak and the other to hear.β Henry David Thoreau
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as if nothing is a miracle, and the other is as if everything is a miracle.β
~ Albert Einstein
Cognitive Dissonance, its causes, costs, and cures
I hear Carol Tavris speak at a wonderful discussion group in Santa Monica years ago: Somehow I just felt a need to finally buy the book "Mistakes Were Made(But not by Me) and read it. Now I am getting messages from the Universe -- the phrase "cognitive dissonance" keeps reoccurring everywhere I read, on conference calls... I am clearly supposed to get familiar with this concept (and the research) and how it affects me, my work and my clients.. and the toxic court system.
I have yet to complete the book--the examples of how commonly God awful things happen and are justified buy this aspect of how humans think is hard to plow through. I keep wanting to know WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT? And I keep asking myself "Have I done this? Do I do this?"
Hard to read and do this at the same time.
