About This Quote
In the field of psychology, rationalisation is a way of explaining to yourself why you did or did not do something. For example, I let my kids play outside until they were three because it was cold and raining. It was a rationalisation that I did not want to take the time to go get them because I could not find a babysitter. It’s a way to make yourself feel better about a decision you made without actually saying, “I made a bad decision.”
