Is your life authentic? Do you stay true to yourself and your beliefs when making decisions?

I just want to read the answers. I've long since stopped participating in my own threads.

That is unfortunate, actually.

I half suspect that it's the same person, simply engaging in some type of dramatized roleplay - doing so for entertainment, perhaps their own or ours. Who knows, maybe it's legit and the thread was created for the sole purpose of conversing with a particular user. In short, perhaps it was bait and we all got suckered into it. It's a shame, to be sure. There's actually some good and genuine discourse going on in here if you can be bother to sift through the bullshit.

yes unfortunately not all principles play well with all cultures or people. depending where you are your principles might encounter heavy resistance from the locals. this is why you put another layer above your principles: importance. depending on how important you value a principle it will be broken regularily or never. it also depends on how proper you are. ive seen vegans walk out of stores when they saw that their veggies were fried in the same oil as cheesesticks. its really something with so many layers and affected by so many factors that its in perpetual motion, liquid so to say. and like you said since opposing priciples can happen, and even a scenario where both are equally important, we deal with it with cognitive dissonance.
actually aiste did reply to me once :^)

As much as I can, but life requires compromises and, sometimes, you gotta swallow the pill.

Well i'll look foward to that? I think, seems wrong but i want to see how you are though, actually it is wrong, well it's not like it has anything to do with me.

>even a scenario where both are equally important, we deal with it with cognitive dissonance.
What to you mean by cognitive dissonance, if you don't mind elaborating. I'm just curious.
I have observed that oftentimes when there's a conflict of values or principles, that instead of admitting that it was a difficult quandary, they make justifications and rationalizations. Sometimes doing it to such an extreme that they discard or dismiss an opposing value or principle entirely. Is that what you mean?

I do some light customer service, maybe 4-5 calls per night. I can't put on the mask anymore. It sickens me. I tell people the truth even if it isn't something they want to hear. Most customer service people spin their webs of sophistry and put their customers on spin cycle by feeding them half truths or outright lies. I don't see how you can so easily accept such acts simply because "you're getting paid to do it". It just seems like the flimsiest of justifications.

>Would it be authentic to live by these, or would it be base impulsiveness?
I think the admission of them is enough to be authentic. You aren't repressing them, at least. But acting on every impulse, while arguably authentic, is unwise.

What you say about telling yourself stories about who you are seems like you're crafting an image of yourself. I'd think that it should match with reality as closely as possible in order to be considered authentic. Most people tell themselves convenient and comforting lies. Or have delusions of themselves.

Just ask vv. I'm sure he ll be glad to share.

>cognitive dissonance
i mean exactly what it means
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance
TLDR you bend your mind until the two values arent opposing each other in your mind anymore, which is somewhat done like you said, with rationalisations and justifications until it works.
oh vv would never do that!

I mean I'll look at it if it's in front of me but I'd ask you for it not him.

Then you're very naive, friend.
