I think it is true, I once read a book "Mistakes we made (but not by me)" by Elliot Aronson which talks about the process of "cognitive dissonance" or the way we come to terms with unthinkable actions
Apparent we humans can not live with our mistakes so we golden them and make them better so we can sleep at night
My sister was a classic example of that

I think this is very true.
I've been thinking a lot lately about the politicians who do the bidding of their handlers. I think they get caught up and enmeshed in the system they're a part of, and they do rationalize - we all do to some extent.
I hope, somehow, we can break through to them...
