The Importance of Accepting Deception

Sour grapes reaction is what happens in a man who has said his heart so firmly on a particular achievement that he can't give it up and face the fact. He belittles or runs down the very job he wants so much to have, says pilots are all crazy or fools or fools and the whole flying game is a jip. A man faced with failure to pass an examination for a promotion may suddenly announce that he is colorblind or night blind or has some other previously undescribored defect that would prevent a success.
