Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong
When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief
the new evidence cannot be accepted
It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable
called cognitive dissonance
And because it is so important to protect the core belief
they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in
with the core belief..
~ Frantz Fanon ~ (1925-1961)
Martinique-born Afro-French psychiatrist, philosopher, revolutionary, and writer
I am now quite sure that 'Tragedy and Hope' was suppressed although
I do not know why or by whom. ~ C.Quigley ~
