RATIONALIZING and JUSTIFICATION is the JOKER that the Ego has up it sleeves, to keep you trapped in trying to convince others that you are right.
When something evidently is not working, rationalization comes in handy, pointing out that there are flaws to the evaluating system.
It says: “If there would have been different circumstances, the evading rationalizing would have proof of its point of view.”
Rationalization is only necessary after the proposed fact is evidently wrong, and you won’t accept that.
Rationalization seems so convincing, that it will even make you ignore facts.
For example: “I had a car accident, but it wouldn’t have happened if…”
“I had a fight with my partner, but it only happened because s/he don’t understand…”
“I don’t have enough time, so I can’t do that…” (Then I have an emergency and suddenly I have time to take care of it.)
“I don’t have enough money, so I can’t do that…” (Then my TV breaks or muffler falls off and suddenly I do have the money to pay for it.)
When you catch yourself rationalizing, stop and realize that you are avoiding facing your reality and need to take another look.
Now, prove this to be wrong… Ha Ha Ha…
