People, they can be so rigid and fixed in their ways. We only live once, so why be so uncaring and judgemental. Why pigeon hole people. Why get fixed with one notion and repeat that over and over again. I guess its human nature to do so. It’s easy to follow one idea. It’s easier to process information if we box people and experiences. But then don’t let those boxed thoughts cloud your intake of new information. What is the point of gaining new knowledge if you don’t look at it with an unbiased and clear perspective?
I myself am guilty of stereotyping, but I would like to think that I give things a second chance or for that matter a third chance. I keep an open mind. I try and absorb life around me with minimum bias and preconceptions.
As Arthur C. Clarke stated ‘the only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible’. A questioning and inquisitive mind can help do that. How do you induce a questioning and inquisitive mind? Keep rigidity at bay.
