People have a tendency to accept the advice, and hold to be true...?

...the ideas that make them feel better about who they are and what they do, that ease feelings of responsibility and remove the idea of having done any wrong.


Do you agree that is the case?


Do you believe that because something makes you feel better, that it is therefore true?People have a tendency to accept the advice, and hold to be true...?
The truth is not just about making one feel better but it does set


free, free from pride, fear, and doubt. It is sometimes difficult


to find truth and often what makes one feel good temporarily


is settled for instead of truth. Truth is long term freedom and


lies or half truths can make one feel either good or bad temporarily.


Good question and I hope what I said helped and that you


could understand it.People have a tendency to accept the advice, and hold to be true...?
Physical facts are fairly uniform, but truth is a living and flexible factor in the philosophy of the universe. Evolving personalities are only partially wise and relatively true in their communications.





The uncertainties of life along with its ups and downs can unsettel us. While life has certain inevitabilities. Consider the following:





1. Is courage--strength of character--desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments.





2. Is altruism--service of one's fellows--desirable? Then must life experience provide for encountering situations of social inequality.





3. Is hope--the grandeur of trust--desirable? Then human existence must constantly be confronted with insecurities and recurrent uncertainties.





4. Is faith--the supreme assertion of human thought--desirable? Then must the mind of man find itself in that troublesome predicament where it ever knows less than it can believe.





5. Is the love of truth and the willingness to go wherever it leads, desirable? Then must man grow up in a world where error is present and falsehood always possible.





6. Is idealism--the approaching concept of the divine--desirable? Then must man struggle in an environment of relative goodness and beauty, surroundings stimulative of the irrepressible reach for better things.





7. Is loyalty--devotion to highest duty--desirable? Then must man carry on amid the possibilities of betrayal and desertion. The valor of devotion to duty consists in the implied danger of default.





8. Is unselfishness--the spirit of self-forgetfulness--desirable? Then must mortal man live face to face with the incessant clamoring of an inescapable self for recognition and honor. Man could not dynamically choose the divine life if there were no self-life to forsake. Man could never lay saving hold on righteousness if there were no potential evil to exalt and differentiate the good by contrast.





9. Is pleasure--the satisfaction of happiness--desirable? Then must man live in a world where the alternative of pain and the likelihood of suffering are ever-present experiential possibilities.
Avoiding feeling guilty serves many purposes which is why the ';ring of truth'; is more an emotional response than a logical and reasoned response.





The underlying issue in your example, is the concept of doing wrong. If you do something wrong, that is your choice. I have no reason to request or expect an apology. You did what you did for your own reasons. If that is angering or upsetting to me, that is my problem to deal with.





The issue is that I judged your behaviour -- with or without facts. It also means that right and wrong are subjective. Just because I believe you did something wrong, doesn't make it wrong.





And even if we both agree that you have done something wrong, I'm not the police, a god, the law, etc. You owe me nothing and I owe you nothing. I'm not the morality police who must keep you in check with doing right and prevent you from doing wrong. And further, it isn't my responsibility to punish you for doing wrong.





If you believe that I've done something wrong, the best I suggest is that you decide if you want to maintain contact with me.
If following the advice leads to success every time, the fact that it makes them feel good is in a way irrelevant. However, from experience I can say and hold to be true that feeling good is a big part of that success.


Are you maybe referring to resistance to following advice?





Cheers!
