“When in doubt, you can choose to fight, flee or freeze.”

Cognitive dissonance definition

“Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

Below are three choices to make right now, this instance, and NOT a second to lose:

  1. Fight — I want to fight back against tyranny and oppression because forces outside myself continue to lie and deceive. I feel angry enough to take up arms against those who are angry, hateful and fearful of others. We are supposed to hate our worst enemies.
  2. Flee — I do not want to hurt anybody or myself because I am a compliant citizen with a good heart and compassionate soul. I feel ashamed to think of taking revenge against those who are provocateurs, shills and disinfo agents. We are supposed to love our worst enemies.
  3. Freeze — I do not want to fight back or run away becaue I cannot make up my mind. I will stay put in the hopes that the conflicting feelings will go away. Maybe if I play dead and disappear into the background, no on will notice me. We are supposed remain neutral.
