If you want to realize true happiness, you must be willing to accept the world you live in and your role in the events of your life. Interestingly, people have an uncanny ability to rewrite history to better fit their own personal frame of reference. Some have the ability to rationalize the events in the sequence of a particular event and reconstitute these events to the outcome that best fits their personal reference of what was perceived to have happened or what (innately) the individual wanted to happen.

This criterion is in diametric opposition to article I of the Constitution of the Intention. The liar will often promote a false story of historical proportions in order to protect the idea, belief, or reputation this individual has worked to fabricate for himself. In a further violation of the article, sharing only half of the facts of a story fails to meet the personal goal of an honorable existence and promotes a false assumption of character and conduct. Violating Article I is a direct violation of building public and personal trust. The liar turns this article on its head by simply omitting parts of the narrative or story to reinforce the lie. As a direct result of the liar’s omission, the story now seems to have purpose and merit. Easy. Easy. Expertly Designed Now, the story is no longer a lie; that is, from the point of view of the liar.

Regardless of the omission of the facts, it is still a lie. A half story does not promote validity. It only works to prop up a lie by burying the true events of other details under a carefully selected mountain of reasonable and believable facts. Never discount that the remaining facts may also be imperceptions of reality, and thus deepen the gravity of the lie by distorting the facts surrounding an event and repackaging those “facts” as lies. Never underestimate the goals of a liar. Consider this perspective as an additional mental modifier: what if (subconsciously) the liar was working to further or achieve a counterproductive outcome? What if this person not only left out the facts that support the counterarguments, but also reinvented the story of the remaining facts to undermine and destroy the desired outcome in its entirety? Sounds amazing, I know. Unfortunately, you’ll find that some people just like to “watch the world burn.” Deep in the sick psyche of someone who wants to be in the epicenter of attention, the liar works to dismantle the world around him. This person’s subconscious is misguided, working to interrupt or destroy good things so others don’t experience happiness; misery often enjoys company.

The liar never owns his own bad behavior or takes personal responsibility. Therefore, it is in this character flaw that he or she must omit certain parts of a story and backwards redesign the circumstances to place blame and/or more blame on another party or parties, thus reconciling the liar’s bad behavior or misconduct. and giving meaning, purpose and validity to that misconduct. Again, this is in direct violation of honorable conduct between people.

In these cases, the one who does not want or is unable to accept his own personal faults or his role in an action, or prefers to believe his own half of the story to reconcile this Cognitive Dissonance, is surely living in a false and understood reality of the imagination. This conduct also merits a charge of violating Article VIII – Existence rooted in humility. It is always honorable to own one’s behaviors and stand up to be corrected.

To better understand the liar’s failure to cite all sides of an argument, we need to define and discuss dissonance for a moment.

Cognitive dissonance is the feeling of uncomfortable tension that comes from having two conflicting thoughts in your mind at the same time. These uncomfortable feelings stem from having to deal with events in reality and how they conflict with our own personal perception of events when such events contradict our beliefs, values, ethics, or our own ability to recognize our own personal inequities.

Dissonance increases with:

• The importance of the topic for us
• How strongly dissonant thoughts conflict with each other
• Our inability to rationalize and explain the conflict

Dissonance is often strong when we believe something about ourselves and then do something against that belief. The discomfort is often felt as a tension between the two opposing thoughts. To release tension we can take one of three actions:

• Change our behavior
• Justify our behavior by changing the conflicting cognition
• Justify our behavior by adding new cognitions

Dissonance is most powerful when it comes to our own personal image, how we see ourselves in the world, and how others see us. Having worked in the fitness industry for over 20 years, I can feel feelings of insecurity and poor self-perception in people’s statements, suggestive actions, and behavior. I can often identify these feelings in people through casual conversation. Such discussions describe changing habits and behaviors that promote feelings of good health and well-being. Simply denying one’s belief systems regarding fitness, exercise, and diet can be interpreted as a personal attack. In most cases from people I meet and just below the surface in places the person is afraid to go, one can identify those who are victims of their own dissonance. People who are easily flinched and personally uncomfortable with their feelings and moral compass in decision-making often identify with this dissonance, but do not discuss it or resolve conflicts easily.

Dissonance increases with the importance and impact of the decision, along with the difficulty of reversing it. The awkwardness of making the wrong decision to side in an argument is clearly greater than choosing a pair of pants that day. Therefore, when a decision gives way to a myriad of internalized personal conflicts, the probability of dissonance increases exponentially and directly disproportionate to the person’s rational mindset, emotional stability, and ability to reason reality versus fantasy.

Some people see events NOT as they happened, but rather as they believe they happened. This belief is so closely tied to the person’s own personal perception and reinforced through the person’s own dissonance, that any fact or point of view that conflicts with this perspective is simply defeated as falsehood, lies, exaggeration or manipulation of the facts. events of a circumstance. The person would rather believe her own story than allow another story to overwrite the previous one.
Therefore, for some, half the story is better than the whole truth:

• A liar’s inability to recognize his own personal shortcomings makes him feel better about his transgressions against others.
• The naive accept a liar and the reputation the liar has built. Believing stories that invalidate a liar’s arguments exposes the follower’s personal weaknesses and can lead to a contentious challenge with the liar. Therefore, a follower who does not aim to uphold or support the truth must also live with his own character flaws for accepting shameful conduct.
• The liar’s listener/follower falsely believes that he or she is absolved of sin for supporting a liar’s half-truths in the name of “loyalty.”

If you want to be truly happy:

• You must be willing to listen to all the facts surrounding a series of events. You will need to find the strength within yourself to listen to those things that you would rather not hear or would rather not believe about this person you may call “a friend,” and accept the entire library of facts surrounding an event or event. circumstance. The truth is liberating.
• Emotional feelings cloud our judgment and prevent us from evaluating and weighing all details equally. Leave your emotions at the door so you can better assess each fact and conclude which is the case, not the one you would like it to be.
• If you seek to live in a world that is truly cripple-free, you must eradicate negative and undermining people from your life who exercise illogical, immoral, unethical, or selfish tendencies. To be truly happy, you must allow the whole story to be told and not judge any of the accused until you have collected the entire library of facts.
• Accept all the positive and negative aspects of a story to be told. Your mind knows the difference even if you don’t want to accept it.
• Accept what is true and don’t discuss ideas within a story that will help you sleep better at night. What is is. The sooner you accept what is true, the sooner your brain will resign itself to dealing with accepting what sometimes cannot be believed.
