Is cognitive dissonance positive or negative?
I believe it can be both, while every article I read refers it as a negative thing, I believe that it can be very positive and constructive. Though I could be completely wrong. If I am not mistaken, my cognitive dissonance, and as George Orwell refers as "Doublethink" allows me to challenge my ideologies to find what is closer to the truth, instead of sticking with one thing I tend to see things from a wider perspective.
