And thus demonstrating the inconsistency of your behavior and your
belief system. When we talk about right and wrong, we have an implicit
expectation that others should think likewise as well (applies to
actions as well). I assume you do as well, or otherwise, you wonuld not
even bother with moral discourses at all. Cognitive dissonance is
common, but people deal with it in different ways.
