I have copy-pasted a post by Dr.Shalini Ratan 1st Founder & Chief Knowledge Facilitator, NIRVAN Life Sciences which appeared on LinkedIn 2 weeks ago.
"Why do we become Believers and not Thinkers?"
Follow others, accept what is told to you, don't question, and don't apply your mind.
The mind gets programmed Not to Think. So, when the mind is not used it loses its capacity to dig and know, it turns lazy. It follows without effort and becomes Belief, rather "Blind Belief".
To Think is a Mind exercise. Unless the mind is challenged with counter thoughts, conflicting opinions, and multiple ideas it will not build itself.
That's why we like Conformed opinions; they soothe the mind.
I decided to copy the above as it depicts what I have learned over the years on social media. This post explains what happened yesterday on Facebook in my post on letter sounds. I will share this tomorrow.
This also relates to my post yesterday about the human mind. LINK
Here is something from another post by Dr. Shalini that is connected.
Why we don't like to get challenged?
.... Because it hits our programmed mindset.
Can the old pattern we carry for years be broken without a Hit?
Giving lessons on a subject is just adding another layer of information, but the purpose is to break the old layers of information.
It is to Unlearn the Old, the Past ...
This is painful and disturbing because it unsettles our emotions, creates inner chaos, and makes us feel humiliated and less. Now it depends whether we convert this chaos into clarity or defend by being rigid. It's our journey.
That's why those who Teach are welcomed, but those who Question are ridiculed.
Inner transformation is not for the faint-hearted.
