Stereotypes and mindsets! We live with them all the time...
in fact; some of us do not know how to live without them...because if we don't
believe them, we are lost. Our whole foundation of survival is based on them.
Change, therefore, becomes a generator of fear...fear of the
unknown.
Like, I am holding my mom's finger for security…what will I do if I let go of
it?
The mind has no existence unless we fill it with thoughts
and emotions according to our perceptions, prejudices and thought processes.
When fear rules, we try to find solace in stereotypes, because they have been
tried and tested and provide a certain comfort level.
But these will never encourage growth. On the contrary, they can limit us to a point where we begin to live with closed minds which can breed all the negativity in the world.
