RE: The Unlearning...

in #wisdom6 years ago

Unlearning, hmm what a word. I don't even think I have ever used that word unlearning. But come to think of it I feel is a very difficult thing to unlearn those things we must have learnt from our childhood.

At this tender time of life, there are lots of information that comes into the young minds. At this point of our life we're fed with lot information whether they be truthful or false.

Let me give an illustration, my young girl comes back from school with some assignments given by her teacher. Her mother looked into the assignment and saw that her teacher was wrong about what he taught her but she just wouldn't agree that her teacher was wrong because she trusted her teacher's word. She would say this is how we were taught in school,even though it's wrong.

It becomes difficult to unlearn when you so trusted the source of information you got without further research especially when this information is coming from one's parents or teachers. This misconception starts at our very tender age. We're fed with superstitions, myths and false information, it becomes difficult to unlearn this things because of our trust in this people.

The only way out of this world of false information blocking the new information that are true from is first accepting that we're wrong about something and we open our minds to learning new things. So that as we read new things we would not be so stiff in our judgement. Thanks @rok-sivante from me @tobex.
