Why… do YOU do… what you do? Why do they… do… what they do? (Ever wondered?)
I don’t mean just the lovely - random acts of kindness, caring for strangers, loving friends and family – stuff that we do, but also the mean and nasty, admit-it-to-no-one, deny-it-to-everyone stuff.
Not just the never-do-it-again big acts of brutality, either, but the do-it-everyday small acts of thoughtless unkindness
Yes, why do so-called good people do bad stuff? Similarly, why do some human beings see fit to inflict the worst kinds of atrocities on other human beings, and feel righteous in doing so? Is there a simple, single reason?
Well, yes – actually – there is. A single reason. A perhaps unsatisfactory reason, and maybe it’s a “stating the bleedin’ obvious” reason, but there is a reason and that reason is what gets discussed in this particular podcast episode…
“Most people, when directly confronted by evidence that they are wrong, do not change their point of view or course of action but justify it even more tenaciously.
“Even irrefutable evidence is rarely enough to pierce the mental armor of self-justification.” — Carol Tavris
