i used to remember this concept in psychology back in college, not because i fancy psychology but because it hits so close to home.
cognitive dissonance, if i remember it right, is when a person does something, whether under a compulsion of some other force or by his own volition, but actually believes otherwise or thinks otherwise or even opposes such action.
this is usually brought about by circumstances in which one is to choose what is practical vis-a-vis what is ideal.
i have been thinking about the career path that i have taken. it pains me to note that my passion to be a lawyer is somewhat snuffed. i cannot, for the life of me, imagine what went wrong along the way. my instincts are telling me that this is not really what i want but reason would dictate that in this career, i certainly have a future.
hay.. i must be really burned out. is a time out from all of these too much to ask? i can barely manage to read through my books like the sifter that i once was.

Amen to that. I've had so much of those inner voices with me lately and I think it's gonna crack me any minute.
But then again, there's no turning back. Uhm, let's just say, we may top the bar! Hahahah. Parang raffle! These crazy bouts might pay off one day. *wishing hard*
i really hope so. i wish there is a way for me to turn off thos "inner voices" because sometimes, they get so loud i could actually feel my eardrums breaking.
hay life..what options have i got anyway given my soc sci degree besides going back to the academe and teach?!
