Why is contradicting yourself seen as wrong?

[Top_Bunk]

Nobody thinks the same, acts the same from the day they are born to the day they die. And if you are you got a dam problem. We change our minds over the course of time as we grow and learn more, realize the world is bigger then our personal experiences, change our priorities & gain insight. So I mean it's really not surprsing when someone contradicts themselves(hypocrit is something different). The first step to growing is contradicting yourself. Malcom X contradicted himself from being a pimp with white hoes, to being a muslim that said whites were the devil to going to the holy mecca and seein whites and saying they are our brothers. Had we not known what experiences lead him to that we would be calling him a hypocrite (if some already don't). Personally I can respect a man that can admit when they are wrong or were wrong. Where as in society we pretty much encourage each other to be stuborrn and support our stance regardless. Example: there was a thread a day ago about the oj shit. I knowing little about the case assumed he was innocent. I didn't say it in the thread. But by the end of the thread my opinion had changed. That's a matter of hours that my opionion was changed. If I would have said he was guilty I would have gotten a response: oh why you quite now !#+@?, or some other shit like that. But I had to get that off before I head to work. Is it wrong to contradict yourself, or is it wrong to get caught contradicting yourself?

Changing your opinion upon further reflection is different than contradicting yourself...what makes it wrong is you have cats who will contradict themselves during the same argument

fuck the peanut gallery fam i feel you. people who take staunch positions in life at some point change them more often than not. there is no gray area in this world nor is it all black and white.

Cognitive dissonance is an essential part of human reality. Most people have contradicting opinions and yet they are able to function normally.
