Thanks John. Should I say that I have Cognitive Dissonance if I react to the fact that our politicians are corrupt when they should be honest? I can picture a guy seating in the analyst's -the other type- divan and hearing: "People around you are not dishonest. You are the problem" Patient: "Me the problem, so I'm sick!" Analyst: "Not exactly" Patient: "But the deputy of our assembly was killed yesterday due to his push to investigate police corruption (real case in here in Parana state)!" Analyst: "You are suffering from Cognitive Dissonance, a physiological reaction that is not good, not bad, when what shouldn't be just is." Patient: "I see. So I just have to go out and behave like I bloody want as long as other people's perceptions of my bad doings are perceived as their own problem of Cognitive Dissonance! Doctor, you are good. I'm cured!"
