What does this mean? Sour Grapes? No, just cognitive dissonance!
Communication Theory: A First Look
Dissonance: Discord Between Behavior and Belief
Aesop’s fable is the source of the phrase ‘‘sour grapes." The story illustrates what former Stanford University social psychologist Leon Festinger called cognitive dissonance. It is the distressing mental state in which people feel they "find themselves doing things that don’t fit with what they know, or having opinions that do not fit with other opinions they hold."2
The fox’s retreat from the grape arbor clashed with his knowledge that the grapes were tasty. By changing his attitude toward the grapes, he provided an acceptable explanation for his behavior.
Festinger considered the human need to avoid dissonance as basic as the need for safety or the need to satisfy hunger. It is an aversive drive that goads us to be consistent. The tension of dissonance motivates us to change either our behavior or our belief in an effort to avoid a distressing feeling. The more important the issue and the greater the discrepancy between behavior and belief, the higher the magnitude of dissonance that we will feel. In extreme cases cognitive dissonance is like our cringing response to fingernails being scraped on a blackboard—we’ll do anything to get away from the awful sound.
Motomachi's thoughts of some Dinar Mania Feelings:
1.) The line is long but you are moving, you feel good and you know that soon you will be next!
2.) The line, what line, you are next; the person in front of you is asking all sorts of questions, has much to run through the register, or the price is not right and they are calling for management for a price check! You feelings are sinking and you know it!
3.) The line is long and you look behind you and there are millions behind you and you feel like you have enough company and can stand there for hours; conversation is good, you feel good, but then someone from the front of the line passes by and says something that makes you feel like you will be there forever!
4.) The line is there, it is short, it is moving and when you get to your turn, you forget why you are there: you are then told to get to the back of the line!
5.) The line is moving, the line is short, the person at the front of the line scream, yes, yes, wow, whoopie, the one right behind the first, starts screaming, yes, yes! It's true, the Dinar is exchangable, the NID is at $1.47... You get to the window, then you wake up!
6.) You are not in line, you are safe at home, you are posting with other crazies out there that you do not know, but hey, you are not known and you can act anyway you want within the confines of the forum rules! You are doing just fine until someone post something that really gets to you and you start "flaking-out!"
7.) Same as above, but you take it to PM and deal with it and where you finished your anquish and then return to the Crazy Thread and find news that the NID pegged and you are rich! You are not dreaming, it is really true!
You are not dreaming and it is true! It is all over the web, the television, the next day you are driving to the bank feeling great, you have already called all your friends. Everyone is excited and you are really on cloud #9! Hearing the same good news on the radio station on your way to the bank! You arrive at the bank parking lot, you drive around for a half hour looking for a parking spot, you have your safety deposit box key or you have your brief case, or lunch pail full of NID notes. You get to the bank door, they just closed with a sign stating, "Go to the downtown office if you are exchanging Iraqi Dinar!" ALL foreign currency has to go through the Democrat Party Office and they are taking 60% of ALL NID as new taxes, no exceptions, no tax break, this is not a dream!
Sour Grapes, you figure it out and remember to VOTE your DREAMS!
Reality, what is that? Realism, taxes are here to stay! But, why pay more then your "share"! BUT, Pay them, you will not like Wesley is the same cell as yourself! Act nice and post responsibly! Forget the above and remember to have a good time at the RV party!
Are we having a good time yet?
Yeah, I am crazy, what thread are you at?

You will be okay!
If you can talk about it and realize that it is a dream, you are doing okay!
Now, if you show up at the bank in you P. J. Yamas, remember to look for a Hawaiian looking guy, I will be there too! I wear a night shirt similar to the Hawaiian Muu Muu pronounced, "moo `oo moo `oo!" Like a cow calling out! Just click on the site and you can see the actual dresses called muu-muu!
★ Muu-muus at DISCOUNT prices from the islands!
I like LOUD Aloha shirts! Hawaiian Aloha Shirt Manufacturer
