When the truth hurts, or when we have two simultaneous truths in our mind we can not reconcile, we either use motivated reasoning to silence our fears, or we create elaborate stories and think the story is singular in order to not solve the truth in Cognitive Dissonance but in order to self soothe the pain of reality or the pain of having two things we want to believe are true but we can't and thus we must "split reality". Splitting is sometimes called black and white thinking but the psychology term means more than this.

All humans do it, and the leftists are hurting the most right now and in some ways they seem almost crazy because of it.

Now if Hillarly won instead of Trump it would not be the Leftists aka the people who create a personal identiy around their beliefs, but it would be the rightists who would be acting more crazy in the outside behaviors for they would be in mourning.

(Going Surreal) So are we now defining crazy based off what we can see on the outside, or is crazy really what is in the inside and STINKIN THINKING that all humans do but some humans do far more than others.

So this is addressed to Aerocontrols but also Ghavrel if he reads this.

I currently live in Houston. I was born in Beaumont (aka Proto Louisiana, the swamp areas of Texas between Houston and Louisiana.) And I lived in other places in Texas (Corpus Christi), Oklahoma (OK City), and Kansas (Wichita), and a few more minor cities, before returning to Houston.

What is Alabama like? Is it like Louisana, or would you use a different comparison Aerocontrols?

And I ask you Ghavrel on your input since you are a Swamp Rat boy (teases)
