Break the walls:Start with a Zero |
We all have made many walls around us, in our mind.They are the walls like prejudices and stereotypes about some caste, religion, gender, race, a particular culture. They are very hard to break. We can't see across them which means we are not ready to accept the positive in the person, culture, religion etc. about which we have made a mental set negatively. These walls narrow our minds; we burry all our natural goodness,curiosity,courage and humanity under these walls.
How these walls are created?
We all are born free with a desire to learn,to know the world with our curiosity and our own experience. But as we grow, we are taught about so called social norms which may or may not be right. Sometimes we follow such a cultural ritual which has no relevance in the present scenario. I agree as we developed through evolution , there were some needs which we were to fulfill. We improved the ways in which we could satisfy those needs.This is how we made groups, customs, culture and rituals. But now the time had been changed. And we still follow them blindly without evaluating them. That's why all these things has become walls which limit our thinking and feelings.
If I have a bad experience with a person related to a particular community, I generalize that over the whole community and tell the other person about it. The other person accepts it as I told him without even knowing a single person of that community We should keep it in mind that individual differences are everywhere.
Start with a "zero"
I know it's very difficult but break the walls around you. Anything you feel can limit your mind, education,experience is a kind of wall. Explore the walls around you and break them one by one. Start with a zero with no impact of your past experiences, prejudices ,social learning;forget that all and take a fresh start towards everything, every person and the whole world. You will realize everything is so different from what it used to be previously.
You will feel the world has been changed but actually the world is changed when you change the perspective towads it. You will feel that everything has improved. And how stupid you were to think like that. You will get yourself and the world in a better way. Try to start it as soon as you can. Well, I have started that and feeling really good. There are some individuals who are liked by no-one but are really good. Don't accept the judgement from the others. And don't judge people rather try to explore and understand them. Because a judgement can never be perfect as you can't fully know a person. And incomplete knowledge will mislead you. So, be careful.
