Two things that I did have to justify (and probably aren't the best). The first was kind of a major life event where I stayed in the band that I was in long past when I should have. I justified that I should stay because the people were in my friends and I didn't want to unhinge the entire group by leaving. But it was best to leave because I think deep down none of us were really fully enjoying the experience anymore and just holding on because the others were.
The second thing that I tend to justify is bad food choices if I've had a really rough day, though the food doesn't usually make me feel any better, so I probably shouldn't do that lol
Something that I disagree with other people justifying is group mentality to dismiss decisions. For example, "why should I pick up my trash when nobody else is?", "why should I recycle if my friend doesn't", etc. Basically using a generalization to justify not doing something that people should be doing is what I disagree with.
Ooooh... I have been there... staying on out of loyalty to friends... when we all knew it wasn't working. I was listening to a podcast today about how unhealthy peace (in human relationships) is much more debilitating than unhealthy conflict... it's weird, but true enough...
Haha... I "treat" myself to fast food when I feel down... and then I proceed to feel sick... I know it is going to happen, but somehow I manage it every time...
Group mentality to avoid making the moral choice... that is a terrible one... it is basically an excuse to not step up and do the right thing..
Oh that is interesting. I didn't think that the peace option would end up being worse than a messy conflict since I've always been one to avoid conflict whenever possible.
Right? It seems like it's so good in the moment and then half an hour later you start asking yourself why you gravitated towards that greasy fast food burger haha
