i think to some degree there is, yes. i think that we justify the opinions we have about the things that happen to us in our everyday lives by saying that they are either for or against the morals or beliefs we hold true. i think without that rationalization we would constantly be questioning ourselves. that isn't to say that every now and then something doesn't come along that causes us to question our beliefs and may cause us to change or alter them, i think that entirr process of rationalization, or justification, as the case may be, is how we continue to grow.

I'm sure there is to a degree, and it's most likely different for some people than others. For me, there are very few times when I know for sure that something is from God (this is the best example I know how to use), and then there are other times that I'm simply fighting what is fleshly and what is spiritual. Life really is a tangled web, but we must untangle it as quickly as we're weaving it, if that metaphor makes any sense.

Some people use what can be called justification or rationalization quite a bit. other people dont.

I believe so.
It's difficult when we err. . .hard to swallow.
But I try to catch myself and hold myself accountable.
