Decisions are based on thoughts and our knowledge but why when that decision is made do we find?
Answer:
It may be about not wanting to flip-flop, or it may be a lack of desire to rethink something that they don't need to. If it isn't broken, don't fix it, eh?
And sometimes even if it is broken, you don't necessarily know that. (your way of thinking, that is)
We are not going to change our minds unless someone can find a fault in our thought process and has a better one. If someone was agressively trying to change my mind i naturally stick to my guns - however someone constructive and I will listen and re-think.
therefore it depends on the situation and circumstances around it.
my decisions are based upon the facts that I am presented with- the justification process is a defense mechanism used to thwart those attempting to try and make us change our minds- only i know what i need not someone else in most cases
Who are you justifying your position to and why. Are you questioning the veracity of you own decision or is it a 3rd party and what is the person's motive cos in the first case you are trying to improve while in the second place you are probably being critcised. You own your decision and as you know decisions have consequences and you will manage the consequences of your decision so I believe that to some extent it is natural to resent such intrusions unless it clearly contains superior arguments which coomon sense and humility dictate that we/you accept with gratitude
I think most decisions are intuitive or emotionally based. We use our intellect to then reason and justify the decision. People may find they make a decision to change their career or home, but when they think it through they realise what a mistake it would be. Therefore, the initial decision did not come from an intellectual decision making process but some more superficial choice.
When you make a decision, you take responsibility for what you have decided; we therefor become invested in being right. In a culture where decisiveness is valued, the pressure not to change is even stronger. We must find a balance between preparing to move forward with our decision, verses being able to let go if necessary.
The tension between these two poles is part of the pain of existence.
It's called Dissonance Theory, if you are looking for the theoretical response to this question. Even when we don't make the decision, and often because we don't, we 'choose' to prefer the outcome to the situation we are in. I could litter this with examples, but won't bore you with them, suffice it to say, yes this is a human trait that is well documented.
pride and lack of humility.
we arent perfect and life isnt perfect so how can we make perfect decisions?
we can plan...but not plan the outcome...
