Sow Certainty to Reap Comfort
Individuals often engage in self-justification regarding their life choices, particularly in areas like ministry or political affiliation. This behavior may stem from latent self-doubt about their own decisions, leading them to encourage others to follow a similar path. By promoting their choices, they seek to validate their own life decisions, easing their insecurities. This tendency indicates that choices made can sometimes serve a deeper psychological need, rather than purely reflecting altruistic intentions. The external advocacy for certain life paths may, at times, reflect an internal struggle with personal fulfillment and the desire for reassurance about one’s own identity.
