Beyond ideology

There is no problem in have an ideology, one set of values and beliefs that guide you in your life. But there are moments that you have to put your personal beliefs aside to see things clearly, there are moments when you have to analyze things that are beyond your ideology. Challenge your own ideas and beliefs is essential for a health life and to keep your mind sharp and your vision of the world accurate.
If you realize that the ideology that you follow is holding you back and compromising your judgment of the facts you must change your views in order to continue to be honest with yourself. I think that what make someone lose contact with reality and choose to believe in stupid ideas is a natural tendency that we have to fool ourselves, and we must deny that temptation to remain capable of improve ourselves.
