Make sure that the medicine you decide on in a rash and desperate moment doesn't turn out to be worse than the malady.

Confirmation Bias
Confirmation Bias
Our brains have evolved to crave information consistent with what we already believe. We seek out and focus on facts and arguments that support our beliefs. More worrisome, when we are trapped in confirmation bias, we may not consciously perceive facts that challenge us, that are inconsistent with what we have already concluded. In a complicated, changing, and integrated world, our confirmation bias makes us very difficult people. We simply can't change our minds.

Life Is Stressful

Life is stressful. How we respond - mentally, emotionally, spiritually - affects our bodies.

Lying
He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.
