In order to have a good mindset one must be able to acknowledge and admit their own errors. Its human to be cocky and not want to admit our own errors, so much more immediate and intimate is the concept of a mindset that here is seen a strong struggle. We struggle so much in a life when we do not see our own errors. There are rules made up with the mindset of anger and sadness and woe that we cannot escape our own rules and allegiances to such bullshit. We’re too deeply ingrained with our own fantasticness that letting go of some made up paradigm associated with a strong emotion is unthinkable. Until, you like, think about it.
This is more common in social ideas then scientific, academic, or spiritual things but it is absolutely present in all of those as well. We make up rules that stick through out our lives and they hold us back. We see one way of viewing the world and it creates a stigma so we get stuck in that. We assume,”People are only out for themselves” and then all of our thoughts for social situations become intimate with that concept. Basted in such a concept are all our social commentary and interactions. But what if we are wrong!!!! Then the rest of our lives are off-base and we misunderstand the glaring majority of interactions. This is one generalized example but its a good one because of how simple it is and how simple all the social beliefs people form are. The biggest truth factor here is that we don’t fucking know everything, ever. So it is vital to not being a complete idiot to be able to open your mind and create new thoughts for the conceptualization of the world.
Recognizing that we’re idiots is not normal. It takes dethroning one’s self. A comfortable position that makes you happy, content, ends paranoia and worry and saying,”nah, fuck this. Lets learn more”. It is not natural to do so but it is badass and the intellectual nature that fuels real genius. We must allow ourselves to be wrong to the face of shame, integrity, damage, pain, so that we can grow and be greater. Being a proud cripple slave hasn’t got diddly-fuck on being an open-minded winged beast. We must stay critical of all thoughts, and re-gauge our minds to focus on ourselves. Because those thoughts own us the most.
True freedom includes being free to change our own thoughts.
