“Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. ”
John Kenneth Galbraith 1908 –
American Economist
MW Thoughts;
Most people would rather justify their current position, than accept a new position.
‘Position’ may mean; idea, way-of-life, way-of-doing-something, job…
But;
“Just because you’ve been wiping your ass for twenty years, that doesn’t mean you’ve been doing it right.”
So;
“Whenever we explain a reason for doing/not-doing something, listen to ourselves to see if we are really just making excuses.”
