It takes us only a few moments to develop a perception about each and everything around us. And then, it is so tough to change it or even bend it a little. This is how radicals work. I was always amused by radicals, but now seem to be realising that they are dangerous not to themselves but to those who lend ears to them. They box our brains to such an extent that we echo only what we hear from them. In that case, they must be called bullies. Be it friends, profesors, politicians or religeous leaders, one need not be so influenced by them that there is no space left for alternative thinking.
An overall look at a thing is always better and gives us the wholesome idea. But a limited view and strongly holding on to that limited knowledge is definitely dangerous for us.
I believe, more than anyhting it is very very and very very important to have an alternative thinking before we develop a strong idea. Half of the actions and reactions by us will be calmer and patient, if we get into the habit of alternative thinking.
We need to do our part of research before we agree to the masters of a school of thought. Why to be a copycat, when we can open our parachute and glide the way we want to.
Just to make the brain numb, we make communites and states and live like 'a community'. Its high time that we disjoint ourselves from such labels and live as 'individual' and re-think what we never lend a thought to.
