During a methodological elucidation of mental processes, and without introducing too many opportunities for distortions and errors, why do we too often voluntarily grant attention bias to unexplainable outside forces that hold responsibility for shaping our behaviors? I propose in the strictest sense which I am giving that nefarious, self-serving, illusory constructs of the mind like to temporarily suspend reality out of a simple desire to avoid pain, and nothing further. We do all recognize that pain may come to us in many disguised forms though. I think that the desire for mental constancy and congruency causes our individual perceptions of reality to appear to us stable and accurate with what we want to believe as true. There may of course be perceptual reversals that place us in positions to at once notice the obvious, but we rarely seem to want to correct ourselves or gently allow anyone else the pleasure of correcting us. This of course begs the next question: Why do we take such pleasure in correcting others while ignoring ourselves? I know of no one immune to this. This simple fact is the starting point for all explanations of intentional blindness.
