The idea of rejecting other possible beliefs when it questions ours is cognitive dissonance. We just can’t wrap our heads around the fact that we may have been learning wrong and we need to unlearn many things.
It takes deep understanding to come to terms with that. Most people find it hard to process the reality of others hence, the quickly disregard it.
Growth means being true to yourself despite what anyone says. You really do not owe anyone explanations so keeping your secrets to yourself doesn’t have to lead to lies.
I loved this write up so much. Well done.
