We Live Against Our Better Judgement

“Against our better judgement” means we think that something isn’t wise to do, but we do it anyway. Why is this? Fear takes over, and we comply. Of course, the truth comes out in the end, as you can’t fool everyone all the time. But most of us still live in hope and fear.

It’s a sort of emotional blackmail where we feel guilt or a sense of obligation under pressure to comply so that others do not withhold affection. We know this, and yet still we go along.

It’s how we spend our lives. We fall in with the crowd, but it doesn’t feel right. There’s an intuitive feeling that we ignore, knowing instinctively rather than employing reasoning

Intuition is something we lose when we become dependent; it could be seen as similar to “brand awareness”, where the brain is said to light up before we’re aware, and controls our actions.

Actually, that lighting up is pure consciousness. That is intuition.
