Vin Diesel..




Image result for woman with a fit bit


Connie Dabate was shot dead in her home December 2015. Her husband, claimed he left for work around 8:30, only to return a half-hour later to see “a masked man — about 6-foot-2 and stocky with a Vin Diesel voice.”  

When the police started inspecting the couple’s digital footprints they found the husband’s story more full of holes than a Swiss cheese firing range.

First, the home security system recorded no signs of a struggle, and the alarm only went off an hour after the alleged altercation. Second, forty minutes after she was supposed to be shot, Connie posted two videos to Facebook.

Finally, the smoking gun, Connie’s Fitbit, which she’d worn to the gym, showed her walking around her home an hour after her husband said she’d been killed. She walked 1,217 feet total. The husband was arrested.

Dissonance...

Image result for keep me warm in a cold night

Many describe situations in which people find themselves hating the person they love.  
Love and hate are not diametrically opposed.  First, love is broader in scope than is hate. While in hate the object is considered to be basically a bad agent, in romantic love the object is perceived to be both good and attractive. Second, there are many varieties of each emotion, and each kind cannot be the exact opposite of all other kinds of the other emotion.

Our desire for exclusivity arises in romantic love but not in hate. In hate we want to see our negative attitude shared by others. It seems natural that we want to share our negative fortune with others while wanting to keep the positive part merely to ourselves.  

Hating the one we love is possible from a logical point of view. This phenomenon, however, entails profound emotional dissonance.
