Wishful Thinking

When reading "UFO Cults and Us", it is amazing to learn that we truly are innate stubborn people. Science has even shown that no matter who we are we cannot argue with that, although many of us will still disagree (hence our stubborness) . I am a sucker for a good argument. When I am trying to get my point across sometimes I get so focused on what I am saying and stand by my statements because in my head they are right. Although what are the chances in all of the debates or conversations that I have gotten into that what I was saying was completely accurate. Even though I would like to believe I was also right I know that that cannot always be so. None of us want to be proven wrong. Next time some one tells me that I am stubborn, which has happened, I am just going to say that I am programmed that way, it is just the way that all of our brains work. It was just incredible the lengths that certain people take in order to sustain their believablilty. Whether that means lying about a UFO landing or false claiming that the president's top political adviser has commited perjury. The "Psychology of Deception" remains to teach us a lot about ourselves and how often our minds really trick us. We all want to believe in certain things, and sometimes we deduce all logic in order to hold on to those beliefs.
