The idea of a cognitive dissonance is rooted in the idea of a "self". It's the conflict of two ideas that a "self" holds, and which acts upon a "self" to cause distress or disharmony. If you were to look at this more pluralistically, you might say that these contradictions are products of a world that is systemic (made up of interlinking, pluralistic systems).

Reply to comment by TheRoadsMustRoll in Glorifying the "self" is detrimental to both the individual and the larger world. It neither helps you find your true nature, nor your role in the larger world. by waytogoal
