Confusion is a great enemy

Confusion is a great enemy

When we are confused, we have no vision of right and wrong, and manipulators have very little trouble pushing us into conformity. They show us other people obeying them or they make us fear shame or punishment. Finally, we are pushed to decide quickly. Having no moral stiffness at that moment, we comply. Once that point is past, changing requires us to admit a previous mistake, which makes it double-hard.
