Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort a person feels when their behavior does not align with their values or beliefs.
I went to her land of fame, she greeted me with the name. A little work that grew over time. It was a cell of indifference. I saw her hurting the most but her tears were nowhere. What she was beaten by was not hierarchy but patriarchy. Her husband's indifference was what her mind noticed .
Late at night, her mind asked her why is facing this, why her man doesn't love her with no answer she made that up this is how men suppose to be with women.
Every night the same question her mind used to ask, she replied with the same answer with the belief of it being true.
Her mind took notes of those faults in society and printed those notes into her morality.
She made me work as I was a woman but she had the urge to be liked, she knew what she deserved in disguise. Me being a woman deserved the same form of fame.
She never said that but her subconscious confessed that.
In her eyes, I could see she can make me work overtime because she did the same being a woman of crime.
One time she got impressed by my openmindedness she was almost convinced but her husband kept on treating her like an object.
That night her mind was in a rage and asked her to choose one thing and do it too, but she had no option but to leave her husband which she couldn't do.
Her mind didn't give her a choice to support me with vexing her.
She next morning taught me morality through her actions.
But I was me I never changed.
Behind my back, in family gatherings, on calls, all she said was morality written in her head the truth she was told by her mind the beliefs embedded in her head.
She couldn't help but show what she believed in coz late at night she was under the scrutiny of her mind.
The fight made her ill the bitterness was insidious.
The terms and conditions which were written in her mind's manual were all about.
If you tolerate what you don't believe in it cause, rise to psychological discomfort.
