Adriana replied to doone's discussion People do Change over Time - Examples"It's a good bet that all of us engage and tolerate a certain amount of cognitive dissonance. The only way to minimize is to constantly question what we believe. Critical thinking is a habit, after a while, it comes natural.

Thanks for the Bday greeting. I quit celebrating them at around age 35, now they are just like any other day. If I make it into my 90' maybe I'll start celebrating them again.
